    You should know that NSDictionary (and NSMutableDictionary) copies the key before adding it – thus, if you use a NSMutableString as a key, then modify that same string, the key in the database will still have the old value. This is done for a reason – the key in a NSDictionary should always be static, since it’s actually the hash of it that’s used for retrieving the associated value.
