To set up your DSN I recommend this walk through. FileMaker ships with its own ODBC driver and unless you want to pay more money for ODBC connectivity (there are some nice options out there), set theirs up on Windows. One such example is here.įor older versions of FileMaker, like what I’m using, you’ll want to set up the DSN on Windows. In particular there are code samples that have been extremely helpful for me in getting my databases talking to each other. The best information and code samples I’ve found for interacting with a Filemaker database (via ODBC) with Perl is fmpro migrator. Even through ODBC Filemaker is still a pig. MySQL is more robust and more efficient as well it handles connectivity a lot better.
One of the projects I’m working on right now is replicating a FileMaker Pro 6.0 database (hosted on FileMaker Server 5.5) with a MySQL database.
