Can you access to a MySql database under Linux...?

I just want to know if you can access to a MySql database under Linux with FileMaker 6 edu on a Mac OSX server ?

Thanks a lot for your answer

You can do an import via ODBC and thats about all. There is also a couple SQL plug-ins for FM that can let you do some SQL to and from a JDBC or ODBC source - but are ghetto.

So you think that the better way is to export MySql database (via a dump for example) and to import the file later ?

It can't be done in real time and without human intervention ?

Thanks again for your help.

You could get real fancy and have everything scripted, import single records for a go to next record etc. To give the impression of "live" data, but thats about as far as you can go. As well you'll have to mirror the database structure of MySQL tables - so if you have a complex system, its goign to be alot of work.
