Crag Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 is there a way, on OSX, to connect Filemaker to a MySQL database? I wanna pass data back and forth... but mostly from Filemaker to MySQL. Thanks -Stephen Cox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 If you have the data source set up on your machine, you can just use the Execute SQL script step to do insert, update or whatever SQL statements you want to move data back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crag Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 So if MySQl and FM [server] are running on the same machine this can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I guess they could be on the same machine, but they don't have to be. just specify your ODBC data source (which can be running on any machine) when you create your script in a fm file (which could be on your local machine, or on another machine with fm server.
