Thanks, for the extra info. I'm looking to create a multi-user inventory type application for a customer. They want it custom and to run on Mac OS X.

I guess what I'm really going to do is develop the front end in Cocoa and use SOAP for all of the database communications.


JDBC would be a good way to go, if the Cocoa-Java bridge were still supported, as JDBC drivers are easy to get. (This is the reason that so many generic database interface applications are written in Java.)

That said, Mac OS X has built-in support for ODBC using iODBC; there's a detailed description here:

        http://www.iodbc.org/index.php?page=docs/macosodbcstory/index

and you can download the SDK here:

        http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=90493

Using that, you ought to be able to do your database interface using the iODBC library in C (or even Python or Ruby if you want to).

Cheers,
Brett
