3-10-2004 - Fremont, CA - .com Solutions Inc. releases FmPro Migrator 1.84 Enterprise Edition for Windows - New Version Adds Microsoft Access to FileMaker 7 and FileMaker to FileMaker 7 Migration Features

.com Solutions Inc., a developer of multi-platform database development tools, has released FmPro Migrator 1.84 for Windows with enhanced functionality for FileMaker 7. FmPro Migrator for Windows leverages new FileMaker database engine features which have not previously been available in order to provide automated database migrations to FileMaker 7.

FmPro Migrator for Windows performs a real-time query of the Access database structure, then creates SQL commands to re-create each of the Access tables within FileMaker 7. Once the database structure has been re-created within the FileMaker 7 database, the data within each of the Access database tables is quickly and accurately transferred from Access to FileMaker 7 via a network connection.

The new FileMaker database engine within FileMaker 7 makes it possible to create FileMaker database tables with SQL commands. In prior versions of FileMaker, it was necessary to create database files (tables) manually by using the FileMaker graphical interface. This meant that it was previously not possible to automate the creation of new FileMaker database files. FileMaker 7 incorporates newly designed, robust FileMaker database engine technology which enables the creation and modification of the database structure through the use of SQL commands.

FmPro Migrator for Windows also incorporates a new FileMaker to FileMaker 7 migration feature. FileMaker 7 now includes the capability of storing multiple database tables within a single database file. Previous FileMaker versions placed only one single table within each database file. FmPro Migrator for Windows can migrate each separate database file into one single database file containing multiple tables - one new table for each original file. As with the Access to FileMaker 7 migration feature, the data within each of the individual FileMaker database files is quickly and accurately transferred into FileMaker 7 via a network connection.

New Features of FmPro Migrator for Windows include:
-- Upsize Microsoft Access to FileMaker 7 for Greater Capacity and Ease of Use - Using FmPro Migrator for Windows, Access databases can be migrated to FileMaker 7 in order to take advantage of FileMaker's legendary ease of use and increased data management capacity. Migrated Access databases can now grow to the maximum 8TB file size offered by FileMaker 7.

-- Speed FileMaker 7 Migration Projects - Re-typing dozens or hundreds of field names into a new database structure is time consuming and error prone. Leveraging the new FileMaker database engine technology within FileMaker 7 enables these previously manual tasks to be automated with FmPro Migrator for Windows.

-- Improve Migration Accuracy - The migration of database structure and data is automated by FmPro Migrator, thus eliminating errors introduced by manual tasks. JPEG images, large text fields and special characters are transferred to FileMaker 7 via a network connection without compromising the accuracy of the data.

-- Migrate Previous FileMaker versions to FileMaker 7 - FmPro Migrator for Windows can migrate multiple FileMaker database files into a single FileMaker 7 database file. Managing a single FileMaker 7 database file improves the manageability of the FileMaker 7 database solution. Files are easier to back up, restore and copy between servers when only one single file is being managed instead of dozens of separate files.
