There's a nice MySQL Cocoa wrapper already available (at http://mysql-
cocoa.sourceforge.net/), I've found it simple enough to use given a
working MySQL knowledge. The external documentation is pretty sparse,
but I found that I could work my way through using the inline
comments, which include some simple examples on how to connect,
query, sort results etc. and my Cocoa knowledge is hardly brilliant.

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.

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).
