DIGITAGE

Yes, that's exactly what I want to do. The question is, has anyone of you ever done this who can point me to the specific documentation on how to do this? Or point me to a script that does this? I have read the (sparse) official documentation, what I'd like is specifics from somebody who hasn't just read the documentation but actually done it.

Nope. Any comments appreciated. Can't believe I'm the only one.

Maybe I'm asking the question wrong. Thank you for your help, I'll try again.

What do you mean by manually? What is a common way to do that?

Hello John, thank you for the answer, but I do want the data to be stored in the FM database. Is it possible to have the same set of data also stored in a MySQL database? I am aware that FM can use a MySQL database as data source, but that's not what I'm asking. I don't want to expose my filemaker database to the web, that's the problem. Thank you.

I think that's a very valid question. To me it seems like it has been asked before, but never really been answered. Let me rephrase the question and tell me it's still what you're asking: What is the best way to connect a filemaker database to a MySQL database on the web? I want to keep the local FM database, but I also want a recent, periodically updated copy of my data accesible on a remote webserver. I also want to filter which tables are being transfered. Here's what I got so far, but I warn you, I'm a FM noob: We want to have FM write its data not only to its own local database, but ALSO to a LOCAL MySQL db first. I have yet to figure out the steps how to do that. Next step should be easy: Syncing a local MySQL db with the one on the remote webserver can easily be done by MySQL REPLICATION. Thanks.
