Objective-C O/R Mapper for IPhone

Question

My understanding is that sqllite is pretty much the only choice for database on the iphone. Is there an O/R Mapper for it?

If you're looking for object persistence, Core Data is the obvious way to go.

There's also FMDB. There are others, but look at Core Data first.

FMDB is not an ORM, but it's about all you've got if you have to work with an existing SQLite file/schema rather than letting Core Data handle the schema for you. – Barry Wark Nov 23 '09 at 22:07

Although Apple's Core Data framework is not an ORM, it may be what you are looking for. In particular, if what you want is to persist your object model to a database to make it possible to have object graphs that are larger than available memory or to make querying efficient, Core Data is a good solution. If, on the other hand, you are trying to find an ORM to work with an existing SQLite database, you're out of luck.
