Selling Filemaker to a Company

August 26, 200619 yr

I'm looking for some specifics on Filemaker. Some of the Tech stuff for a client who wants to know why THEY should choose Filemaker over another Database. I'm looking for stuff like

1. Max File Size

2. Performance examples

3. Database structure backend

4. What type of encryption (if any) is used when sending data across the net with the FMNetwork?

and stuff like that. Anyone know where I could find like a whitepaper or something that would answer a few of these questions for me?

What I do know might not be right, as I'm not sure where I picked it up from. For instance

1. Is 2 TB right? For each file that is? and like a 2 GB size for each field? Is there a limit per table, or does that just fall under the max file size limit?

3. I've read somewhere that as of FM7 Filemaker went with an SQL framework, is this correct?

Any help is appreciated.

Try going to www.FileMaker.com . It might be a good place to start. Specifically under Developers, Resources --> http://www.filemaker.com/developers/resources/
