Cortical Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 This is my first attempt to connect to a MySQL served database using FileMaker 9 demo: I have installed MySQL on OSX.4.10, plus Actual Technologies driver, and Navicat demos. The sever is running. I have created a database a using Navicat ODBC Administrator is configured for User DSN using driver: Actual Open Source Databases, type: MySQL, connecting to server: localhost, the database created under Navicat is listed in the ODBC Databases to connect to In FileMaker, Manage External Data Source, new, select ODBC, specify >> Select ODBC Data Source pop window has nothing listed to select what might I try to correct this?

Cortical Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 resolved: set System DSN in ODBC Administrator; FileMaker now sees the MySQL tables. Using User DSN doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Monroe Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 You are correct - FMP 9 External SQL Sources (ESS) only supports System DSN's. User DSN's will not appear in the list. I don't know all the reasoning behind this decision, but I do know that this behavior is intentional.
