FileMaker Imports

[Ricker]

I am a complete novice at databases, but we need one. Our current
inventory is on Excel spreadsheets, which I have begun to transfer
over to a 30-day free trial of Filemaker Pro. (The 30 days ends
November 17.) That inventory now has 160 records and will eventually
reach not over 1000. It is all on one table; we may add a few other
very small tables.
Questions:
>> Will SQL Buddy handle our needs?
>> Does SQL Buddy require three separate pieces of software on a server: PHP, MySQL and SQL Buddy?
>> Will a Filemaker Pro 11 file with layouts import intact to SQL Buddy?
Thanks, Ricker

Hi Ricker,

SQL Buddy requires a server with PHP 4.3+ and MySQL 4+ installed. SQL Buddy isn't a database; it is merely a way to interact with data stored in a MySQL database. You should first decide if you want to use MySQL as your database. If you do, then take a look at SQL Buddy.

At this time, SQL Buddy doesn't have any support for importing from Filemaker.
