Converting MySQL database to Filemaker?

HALBURN
in External Data Sources

Featured Replies

I have a complex MySQL database that someone else has created. It has a couple hundred tables. I have no documentation for it. It is my task to make a front end in FMP11 for it.

Is there any software out there that can take a MySQL database and automatically build a FileMaker database with the correct relationships between all of the tables?

I would like to keep the MySQL database as an External Data Source.

I know there are some nifty tools out there that will create ER charts for MySQL databases (search for MySQL ER diagram generator). I recently used one to help interface with a web store. I (hand) copied the relationships into filemaker after adding all the external data sources. It was very tedious and I only had 20 or so tables. I can't imagine doing it with 100 or more.
