Yes I check now code of SqlLite book example.
And I cannot say I like it.

1) So you mean here something as
    Valentina for Cocoa?

Yes, AFTER I have send first letter, I realize that we can try provide not
only THREE different combnations of LIBs, but we can try produce

A) C++ libs
B) Cocoa libs
C) C libs     ---- but I think may be no need in it.


2) I wonder, CoreData not works on iPhone?
    or you do not want use it ?

Okay.

It seems to me on first look, that Valentina with its API is really fine
here. We can easy iterate cursors and no needs to break head and write
stupid code on dehydrate. We can easy load in RAM only ONE current record
with Vcursor.

With Table API and bitsets we can use much less of RAM also.
