Don't know if I'm in the right place here but I was wondering the following. During the implementation of a small database yesterday, I met some wise *ss claiming that Filemaker sucks because it uses outdated ODBC network drivers...

So my question, how does Filemaker networking work. Does it use it's own technique/protocol, does it indeed use ODBC or is it based of something else...

Info welcome.

It should use TCP/IP. However, I think the guy was talking about the actual ODBC driver, which is actually produced by:

Mac: Actual Technologies

PC: Datadirect

I can only speak about the Datadirect one, but it does tend to be a slow compared to other known ODBC drivers.
