What about a ODBC or JDBC driver for FM-Server databases???

[kai]

Are there any plans for a ODBC oder JDBC driver for Filemaker Server?

You can connect via ODBC to a Filemaker Client, but is there any reason not to support such a driver for the server. This could help a lot to integrate Filemaker databases with other databeses in a company.

I am very surprised that FM supports such the client and not ther server.

Most FileMaker Pro related actions occur within FileMAker Pro, not within FIleMAker Server. All the companion plug-is, such as the Web Companion, work in this fashion. FileMaker Server's job is to host up to 125 files for up to 250 simultaneous guests to access. Certain other functions such as automated backups and some indexing is handled by FileMaker Server.

I do not purport to speak for the corporation, but I can tell you that they are always looking at different ways to do things. So maybe the questions you raised are among them.
