sdutton Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 We are using a FileMaker database for our small business. A web development team has redone our website to a WordPress framework is now putting together the online forms that will be linked to our database. We've run into a bit of a snare. I may not be phrasing this correctly, but this is how I understand the situation: because WordPress works with MySQL, that is how the online form information is collected / stored for our website. And due to the fact that we have different languages being collected in the online data, different MySQL databases have to be created. So, can a single FileMaker database be "linked" to several MySQL databases . . . all our information, whether entered online or by a computer, would be connected a single database solution?
Cable Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Yes, you can create an external data source for each mySQL database and then bring those tables into your FileMaker solution.
