That's not what I meant. I should have said "easiest choice" not "best choice". I prefer Postgres technology myself. But in terms of support, getting info, and installing on OS X, MySQL is the easiest to get up and running. They have a simple installer package so you don't even need to mess with compiling or package management. OS X has the mysql users predefined as well. I'm assuming he is a database newbie so that's why I recommended MySQL.

I *really* do not want to start another battle in an eternal holy war, but I don't agree that MySQL is "easily" the best RDBMS choice. If you're looking for SQL compliance and high transaction concurrency, it is actually a pretty bad choice.

MySQL is well supported on OS X and is easily the best RDBMS choice. It has a full C-API that wouldn't be hard to wrap in Cocoa if that is what you wanted to do. SQLite is an excellent choice if you are doing an embedded database app. My current project builds on SQLite.
