mik3capI finally figured out what I was doing wrong with my database functions, and it was simpler than I realized. Of course that's always said with hindsight - now that I have a greater understanding of the foundation classes and how things work generally it seems more apparent. I was worried that I didn't really "get it" and that I'd have to start all over again and recode everything I'd done to date, but it turns out I was just making one mistake with the foundation classes, and missed making one particular step in my SQLite implementation.
As of now, I'm able to access the address book, access the database (select, insert, update, delete), add people to the database from the address book, and once I make the same fixes in my other classes, all the database adapters will work properly. Now I have to go back and make better interface nibs; I've been prototyping those in GIMP images by cutting and pasting screenshots taken from other iPhone apps. I'm definitely closing in on this... and once the first app is written, I should be able to write the second one much more quickly.
