1-9-2006 - Fremont, CA - MacWorld Expo News - .com Solutions Inc. Releases FmPro Migrator 3.68 Enterprise Edition - New Release for MacOS X and Windows Adds SQL Server to FileMaker 8 Migration Feature. .com Solutions Inc., a developer of multi-platform database migration and development tools, has released FmPro Migrator 3.68 with a new Microsoft SQL Server to FileMaker® 7/8 migration feature. On MacOS X, FmPro Migrator utilizes the Actual ODBC Driver for SQL Server from Actual Technologies to make a direct connection to SQL Server databases (purchased separately). FmPro Migrator makes a direct ODBC connection to SQL Server to automate the mapping of SQL Server to FileMaker fields, perform column name to field name conversions and generate FileMaker table creation SQL files. FmPro Worksheet's batch load and execute feature is then used to create the tables within a FileMaker 8 database. Migrated SQL Server tables and data can be used for reporting & charting purposes within FileMaker. Migrated SQL Server tables can also be permanently migrated into FileMaker to improve ease of use and manageability at a reduced database server cost. FmPro Migrator standardizes and automates FileMaker database migration procedures including data type matching, field to column renaming, table creation, FileMaker field size determination and data transfer for 8 different databases. Supported databases include MySQL, Oracle (8, 8i-9i, 10g), Access, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, PostgreSQL, FrontBase and FileMaker 7/8. The advantages of synchronizing data between SQL Server and FileMaker include: -- Creation of Charts from SQL Server Data - FmPro Migrator creates a compatible table structure within FileMaker 8 databases to facilitate the synchronization of data. The xmCHART FileMaker plug-in (www.x2max.com) can be used to dynamically generate 35 different types of charts from this data. -- Automated Reporting from SQL Server Data - FileMaker
8 enables the creation of economical SQL Server reporting solutions
compared to alternative products like Crystal Reports. FileMaker 8 also
provides enhanced exporting capabilities including the direct creation
of Excel spreadsheets and Adobe PDF files. FileMaker 8 Advanced can
be used to create royalty-free FileMaker stand-alone solution packages
for distribution to multiple desktops. -- Merging of SQL Server and FileMaker Data - Prepackaged SQL Server applications may not include all of the functionality which is required for a business process. For a variety of reasons, it may not be possible to add the necessary functionality or data fields to the prepackaged application. Synchronizing data between SQL Server and FileMaker 8 enables the merging of data between databases for consolidated reporting or charting purposes. -- Permanently Migrate SQL Server Databases to FileMaker 8 Server - SQL Server databases can be migrated to FileMaker 8 Server running on MacOS X or Windows at a significant cost savings in licensing fees. MacOS X and Windows Compatibility - FmPro Migrator runs on MacOS X and Windows, thus enabling developers to use their preferred platform for creating the migration scripts. A functional demo version of FmPro Migrator may be downloaded from www.fmpromigrator.com/downloads/index.html.
