export core data model
I have a core data application and I wish to export to excel, CSV or some other file type, how can I do this? Is there an specific class for this purpose?
Thanks
Andres
I haven't bothered to work with CoreData - other than to build and run the examples in Aaron Hillegass' book. However I found this on another forum:

It doesn't look very promising, does it?
I believe CoreData persists as an SQLite database. MacOSX supports ODBC, as does Excel. So - it should be possible to construct some kind of bridge. I suppose it depends a lot on your data model. If you have a single table, it'll be easy. A more complex model will be more challenging.
I was under the impression that CoreData could use a variety of datasources - and although SQLite is a common format, CoreData is not restricted to that format alone. A little more digging's needed.
