iPhone/iPad apps with backend databases?
<p>We're investigating the iPhone Enterprise Developer Program as a way to develop and distribute in-house apps. Since our backends are all Windows, SQL server and Oracle databases, we have to find out a way to make our data available for the coming in-house apps.</p>

<p>As far as I know that Core Data is mainly based on SQLite as persistent store. I am not sure if there are any APIs available in iPhone SDK for SQL server or Oracle database? Another possibility, or very attractive strategy, is to build our own web-based REST services as CRUD gateway to our databases. </p>

<p>Personally, I prefer to integrate in-house apps with our ASP.NET based web services. I am not sure if this is possible. Are there any examples or documentations about this strategy? </p>
