SQLite and CoreData


Yes, Apple has finally ported Core Data to the iPhone which means using SQLite in an application is not the best approach. Once the OS 3.0 is officially released, I will be posting more tutorials on using Core Data. Thank you for all your continued support.

Perhaps you could expand on this a little bit?

If we want to be able to continue supporting iPhone OS 2.x in addition to 3.0, shouldn't we continue using SQLite?

Plus, doesn't Core Data sit on top of SQLite anyway?

With a post like this, it seems like a follow-up post is in order. Don't just leave us with this little bit!! Please expand on your point...

Does anyone know if we HAVE TO use core data? My app is working fine with sqlite and I don't want to migrate to core data. Will upgrading to 3.0 force everyone to change their database?

Core Data can sit on top of SQLIte, but you can use other storage formats besides SQLite, such as binary.
