FileMaker front-end for MySQL

Featured Replies

Hi,

I have a large database in FM12. I need to provide scalability and future proof the development in the middle term, without loosing the fast adaptability and development of FM. I was thinking in using MySQL as back-end and keep using FileMaker as front-end, ensuring RAD when needed.

Is there any way to do this without the need to reprogram or recreate the DB in MySQL and/or reprogram the FM DB? The idea is to find a simple path for this task, if there is any.

Thanks

I'd be curious to know way you don't think FMP can handle the task...

The only reason that I can see to change from strictly FMP architecture to hybrid is a need for processing lots of transactions or facilitate hundreds of concurrent connections.

...

-just curious-

One reason would be the MySQL database is used by an ecommerce website.

Any ideas on this topic? The two main reasons why a change is needed are:

 

- Near future prospects of a large number of concurrent online conections.

- The need to provide faster reporting. We thought this could be better server from MySQL.

 

Thanks
