CoreData or SQLite3 question

[red]

Hello everyone, I need a little help figuring out what storage to use in my application. I have a long list of names (more than 32,000), an ID number for each name, and a parent ID number for each name. My App will need to select data based on the parent id (such as "select * where parentID = ?).

Should I be using SQLite for this, or something else? The data will never be modified and only gets selected very seldom (3 or 4 times per App launch).

If you're creating the data yourself and bundling it with the app, then a plain SQLite database is the way to go, mainly because you'll then be able to create/edit it with any of the many SQLite managers available. If you went the CoreData route, you'll find more problems getting the data into your app in the first place.
