EODataSource confusion :-(

Apologies for my elementary confusion....

Could someone briefly explain/advise what is the advantage of using EODataSource objects instead of just an NSArray of objects? I did look at the EODataSource concepts in the API docs, but still not sure whether this is something "I should really be using to make WO development easier"? Am I better off creating and setting an EODataSource (setDataSource) when working with WODisplayGroups or simply using an NSArray and setObjectArray?

With respect to EODatabaseDataSource, a point of confusion for me is
deleteObject: removes the object from the data source (but does it literally delete the object permanently?)
insertObject: "The default implementation does nothing" ?! (So, what does it do?) Parameters: the object to insert into the current editing context (why would it not insert an object into the data source?)



Regards, Kieran
