You can use Core Data, or if for any reason you're against that or it's not available you can use fmdb.
Um, those both use sqlite. Tom is asking about other SQL databases, like MySQL or Oracle.

I think this is a big hole that Apple should really fill. It would be really cool if we could connect to other databases rather than just SQLite.
You can. There's nothing stopping you from using C or C++ APIs. These of course exist for all the major DBs, and someone else already mentioned that ODBC is included in the OS.
What you're asking is for Apple to provide an Obj-C framework for generic RDBMS access. NeXT used to have one, called EOF, large portions of which got turned into CoreData. But this is an enterprise feature, and Apple hasn't paid much attention to that market in years.
What specifically do you need to talk to those different databases for? —Jens
