Does Apple recommend any particular database for creating SQL based

Yes and no. There is some SQLite support (see Core Data), and SQLite
is part of Mac OS X (from 10.4 up). On the other hand, it is somewhat
questionable whether SQLite can be considered a full-fledged SQL server.
If you need serious SQL power, FrontBase is probably the best course;
OpenBase is said to be pretty good too, but I would very definitely
select FrontBase myself. If you can bear with Java, there is an
excellent hi-level generic SQL API named EOF (Enterprise Objects
Framework, see WebObjects for details).
Alas, there is no decent Objective C API for generic SQL at the
moment, since EOF is Java-only (although it was designed in and for
Objective C, the support was removed by Apple and hardly ever will
return :((( ) and Core Data is SQLite-only (that may change in
future, but don't hold your breath).
