This article shows how to link each of the following components with FileMaker Pro: Compared to a native ODBC integration, FileMaker Pro integrations that use MySQL remoting have several additional components. The JDBC driver is part of a data access chain. The remote data can be modified in FileMaker Pro and tables can be used in the relationships graph like standard FileMaker Pro tables. To use this approach, see ODBC SharePoint Integration in FileMaker Pro.ĮSS: Instead of working with a local copy of the data, you can use the JDBC driver to create an external SQL source.
To streamline this solution, use the CData ODBC driver, as FileMaker Pro supports ODBC natively, but it does not support JDBC. There are two data access modes in FileMaker Pro:ĭata Import: SharePoint data is copied into a FileMaker Pro database and can be refreshed on demand. The CData JDBC Driver for SharePoint implements both the JDBC and MySQL standards to integrate with applications like FileMaker Pro that support connections to traditional databases like MySQL but not generic JDBC connections. You will use the MySQL Remoting feature to access SharePoint as a remote MySQL database. This article shows how to use the CData JDBC Driver for SharePoint to integrate with the External SQL Sources (ESS) feature in FileMaker Pro, which allows you to link records in FileMaker Pro with related records in your other operational data stores. can't see the point of a database that can't supportĪny sort of external query that is even slightly complex - SQL Server and ASP.Net works every time for every query (as you'd expect). My basic opinion of FM Pro is that it is literally a toy. The data to be updated in FM Pro once a week - so we are going to use FM Pro's XML capabilities to converse with SQL server for the newer data. Since the app I was writing was a fairly simple billing one we only needed After consulting a few FM forums (is a good one) I was told by an FM Pro expert to forget it and do it in SQL server if possible. in other words, if you give it a LIKE clause or a clause which might have to search the whole file it brings FM Pro to it's knees! I actually managed to crash our main FM Pro client machine doing this This is because FM Pro basically doesn't support access via ODBC except for *very* explicit queries (eg: select from where txn_id = 12345"). Ken, 'fraid not - I gave up actually and we decided to duplicate the FM Pro files in question to SQL Server tables and run the app off that.
