Another great new feature with FileMaker 9 is the ability to connect to an external SQL data source. Some developers are calling this feature one of the best new technologies to come out with FM since 7. There are 3 SQL sources that have been certified to work (although other SQL sources may work as well) - Microsoft® SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft® SQL Server 2005, Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g, and MySQL 5.0 Community Edition. Connecting to these database sources are as easy as setting up an ODBC connection.
