Core Data is very cool but you should not confuse it with SQL. It can
use SQL on the back end, but the front end (Core Data) interface does
not use SQL. Core Data can use non-SQL back-ends as well.
You could do straight SQL with SQLite on Tiger, or on earlier versions
of Mac OS X if you build your own SQLite. But your own SQL would not
work with Core Data. When Core Data uses SQLite, it does so using its
own undocumented table schema.
Apple has a page at <http://developer.apple.com/macosx/coredata.html>
that should help clear things up.
