I read about Webobjects but it's for web dev and not part of Xcode.
It's just big enough to justify an own package.
While this functionality is almost hidden, you can set aside the "Web"
part of WebObjects and just use the remaining (EOF = EOControl,
EOAccess, EOInterface) to access databases.
On problem, though. The easiest way to build a GUI app is to use
Cocoa/Obj-C. WO is Java and focusses on distributed apps, however.
You'd have to build one app using two languages or do something similar
complex.
I've yet to see a desktop app written using WO. Even the examples
included with the WO Developer kit failed here. EOF/Obj-C did exist but
was discontinued some years ago.
Hasn't Apple it's own data access method ?
There's the very high level WebObjects and, with Tiger, there will be
CoreData, apparently some low level, single file based data access
framework.
For the intermediate, you have to go third party.
- Use something like MySQL's or PostgreSQL's libraries directly.
- Use one of the many wrappers around these libraries.
- Use some semi-high level Framework.
For simple cases I've personally choosen QuickLite
<http://www.webbotech.com>
which claims to be similar to Tiger's CoreData.
For accessing a real database, I've coosen GNUstep's GDL2
<http://www.gnustep.org>.
Still somewhat rough to install, but very promising.
HTH,
