 | Hello,
Foremost, I'm new to the list. I can imagine the question has been asked
before, but since I could not find anything about it the the FAQ, I
presume it will be safe to ask:
Is there an objective-c library or framework covering database access?
For instance via ODBC? Or proprietary methods? Is a free port of Apple's
EnterpriseObjects framework around? I'm using this for a university
project, so academic licenses are ok.
Thanks a lot.
J.L.Simon

You could also use embedded SQL statements in Objective-C.
This works just like the frontends that use SQL statements in C;
in fact, POC, portable object compiler, uses the .em (embedded .m files) suffix
for these source files.

You really have to be more specific on what your needs are, foremost
being the use of just ObjC itself, or dependencies on other object
frameworks. Since you mention Apple, I'll address it from that angle,
but post to a Mac programming group in the future if you have Mac
questions.

Please see:
http://www.subsume.com/cgi-bin/go.pl?k=STEnterprise
which is how I approached database persistence with Cocoa. It also
includes a page of links to alternatives, should you decide you want to
deal with relational mapping at a different level.

Yes, I left it unclear that I'm working on Linux. I did write the
sourcecode on OS X originally, but ported it to Linux recently. So
the platform is Objective-C using GNUstep class libraries and runtime
on Suse Linux 9.1.

Thanks for the suggestion.

As part of the GnuStep project, there is an implementation of the EOAccess
and EOControl frameworks:

| Thanks all for the suggestions! Since I am already familiar with the
EnterpriseObjects classes (though Java) I will try the
EOAccess/EOControl approach first. Cheers!
