FM developer new to ODBC and Oracle

[gwmbox]

Hi

I have been developing FM for quite some time but have never moved to ODBC. Our organisation uses an Oracle database system as its main database source for other organisational applicatisna and I now want to move in the direction of having a FileMaker GUI and an Oracle backend.

I know I have a lot of research and learning to do as I know little about Oracle as well, but I was hoping someone out there has already integrated FileMaker and Oracle and can provide me informationon where to start and learn all this (ODBC and Oracle), and maybe even offer a few sample files for me to play with and see how it all works.

Anyway any and all help appreciated.

Many Thanks

Greg

In my experience (sybase, sql server and sap db) creating a Filemaker GUI for sample database can be very fast but for large database application you should prefere oracle developer, delphi or vb.

Remember that with FMP there is real time connection.

You should also take a look to some sql plugin

FM and ODBC is slow combination.

Maybe FM, Lasso and Oracle will be the good and fast for such setup

I believe Oracle can be used with Lasso...

Only with lasso 6.03 and sup using the jdbc connector (preferaly with thin client)
