Re: CoreData-like data storage for 10.3

Hi Adam,

among things being already posted, you may also try:
  - BDB which is a very, very small wrapper of Berkeley DB (http://
www.sleepycat.com/).
    Berkeley DB is very useful e.g. for storing BLOBS in btree- or 
hash map- like structures.
    The implementation of BDB covers only a small set of functions. 
But with these functions
    it is quite possible to use HashMap or BTrees in conjunction 
with objects conformin to NSCoding.

  - FT. If you somehow want to relate blobs thus forming somehow a 
graph then FT might be interesting for you.
    FT is based on BDB.

FT and BDB can be found at
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/fortytwo

Regards,
  Oliver
