Coming from a non-SQL background, I’ve been having a hard time absorbing SQLite3 for the past few days. Has anyone had any good results using any of the SQLite3 wrapper APIs out there? Do they work reliably? Which is best? I am also hearing buzz about Core Data coming to the iPhone. Not sure whether that info is trustworthy or not but maybe some of you know: will there be a Core Data for the iPhone at some point?

If you’re only just starting now, I would use Core Data.
I spent some time last year looking at the various wrappers at the time. I didn’t use any of them in the end.
I think the NDA was still in place when I was looking so I may have missed the best ones, but I found that most were very thin wrappers. For my purposes this meant that it added an external dependency, didn’t save much typing and I would probably still have had to dive down to using sqlite function calls sometimes anyway. Just didn’t seem worth it.
