Yes ODBC was around at least for FMP 6 (which is compatible with 5.0 and 5.5). However on a Mac today it would be highly likely that the drivers won't be compatible with the current OS. My advice would be to convert to FMP 11 and do it in the newer version.

Is There any SDK available for lower version of FileMaker pro 5 and 6 on mac for automation.

Is this to support a legacy system, or as a learning exercise?

If it's a learning exercise: why learn on a version that is now several years old and essentially obsolete?
