The cross-post to xcode-users was unnecessary; I've removed it.

I haven't picked through all your code, but it appears 
SQLViewToolbarItem (which you send as sender) is an NSToolbarItem (you 
send sender itemIdentifier, and you don't report that sender doesn't 
find that method). But you treat sender as an NSString (you pass it in 
isEqualToString:).  The isEqualToString: returns NO. So view, as of 
the setContentView:, is documentPlaceholderView.

I assume this is what you mean by "didn't work," though you don't say 
what you mean by that.
