Biting off too much?

I am wanting to put together a specific cocoa app. I am a beginner but I don't think I am biting off more than I can chew. What I would like to do is create a database app with an interface (frontend + backend) with the frontend being a form-style input interface with decent security. I would like to make several of these independant front/backends but also have them interfaced through one main initial starting point.
I know where I should start but because I know exactly what I want to do I was hoping someone would be kind enough to give me specific advice. I don't want to make a simple crappy looking app. I want to follow the Apple Human Interface guidlines. I've been reading that using Rudy with Cocoa is a new and better way to go. But I've also discovered several development environments for databases. I really don't have a specific starting point. All I'm seeing are XCode books and Cocoa books.
Thanks in advance for any advice I may recieve.
