Early bird BaseTen pricing

We have just announced an incredible 75% discount for the BaseTen commercial licenses. For a limited time, a commercial license is available at $199 per developer.

See the Licensing page for more details.

BaseTen is a new, open source Cocoa database framework for working with PostgreSQL databases.

The BaseTen feature highlights include:

  • Familiar, Core Data -like semantics and APIs
  • BaseTen Assistant imports Core Data / Xcode data models
  • Discovers the database schema automatically at runtime, including 1-1, 1-many and many-many relationships
  • Database changes are propagated to clients automatically, without polling
  • In-memory database objects are uniqued, and objects fetched via relationships are faults by default
  • Support for RDBMS features like database-driven data validation, multi-column primary keys and updateable views
  • Autocommit and manual save/rollback modes, both with NSUndoManager integration
  • A BaseTen-aware NSArrayController subclass automates locking and change propagation
  • Fetches are specified with NSPredicates (the relevant portions of which are evaluated on the database)

Requirements

  • Foundation, Mac OS X 10.4-era and later; PostgreSQL 8.2 and later
  • AppKit for the optional BXSynchronizedArrayController
