Introduction To Core Data

- 2. Sky+ Little Spender Weather Maps Fourgy
- 5. Attributes NSNumber NSString Transformable BOOL You put in code to transform the NSDate object or value into NSData a compatible type. Transformable
- 6. Relationships Properties that reference other objects Can be to-one or to-many (NSSet - unordered) Can (and should) have inverses, which are worked out by Core Data when you set the other property Delete rule ensures propagation
- 7. Relationships DTAlbum Attributes DTArtist name DTGenre Attributes discCount Attributes name trackCount name Relationships Relationships Relationships albums artist artists genres composers songs songs songs

- 15. Performance: Faults Faults are placeholders for related objects, which mean you don’t use memory on unwanted objects. DTSong DTSong DTArtist DTSong DTSong DTSong
- 16. Performance: Batching DTArtist DTArtist Batching allows you to bring only a DTArtist subset of objects DTArtist into memory. DTArtist DTArtist
