I have a mysql database and in this database I have a parent and child setup. What I am trying to do is import the newest child or if there are no children then just the parent. So if I have 4 entries for a name I want to import the newest entry. If I only have 1 entry for the name that one is imported. While I import I would like to check against what was imported last time I loaded filemaker to see if the entry is in the database. If it is not, import it. If it is and the information is the same do nothing. If it is and the information is different write over the current entry.

Is this possible using filemaker scripts with ODBC connectivity? If so, can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Smeshy
