Importing with JDBC/XML

[dawnh]

We are considering using FileMaker to build a database which needs to import data from an Oracle database. My impression is that JDBC might be the best way to do this. It seems that all the XML support is geared at displaying data already in FM. Is JDBC a good route or are there better ways in FM to import data from other dbs?

You don't have to go for sun's JDBC driver to import the data from Oracle database.Just the ODBC driver is Okay.

Jdbc driver is only for working with java.If you are a java programmer and accessing the filemaker from java then you definately nee JDBC driver.

There r different drivers for different databases.

Sql driver for sql server

ODBC driver for oracle

and sooooo........

hope this information helps you.
