MYSQL Server connection not using ODBC

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

Good day, just wanna ask how to connect to MySQL Server not using ODBC with BaseElements plugin from a script in Filemaker where i can put on a "OnFirstWindowOpen" script trigger or any plugins available?.

What function in the BaseElements plugin did you have in mind?  The javascript perhaps?  Not sure if that is possible.

You'd have to use JDBC if you want to avoid using ODBC, unless your MySQL database is exposed as a web service and you can use HTTP Get or Post?

 

 

You can make a DSN-less connection to MySQL. But in my experience it's wicked fragile, and you have to install the driver anyway. And you can't use it for ESS.

What is your use-case?
