Start the MySQL daemon by specifying the configuration file or settings on the command line. See the help documentation for more information about the available connection properties and other configuration options for remoting. If not set, tables from all databases will be returned. Optionally, Database can be set to connect to a specific database. If IntegratedSecurity is set to false, then User and Password must be set to valid userĬredentials. The Server and Port properties must be set to a MySQL server.

Mysql = "User=myUser Password=myPassword Database=NorthWind Server=myServer Port=3306 "

To use this approach, see ODBC MySQL Integration in FileMaker Pro.ĮSS: Instead of working with a local copy of the data, you can use the JDBC driver to create an external SQL source. To streamline this solution, use the CData ODBC driver, as FileMaker Pro supports ODBC natively, but it does not support JDBC. There are two data access modes in FileMaker Pro:ĭata Import: MySQL data is copied into a FileMaker Pro database and can be refreshed on demand.

The CData JDBC Driver for MySQL implements both the JDBC and MySQL standards to integrate with applications like FileMaker Pro that support connections to traditional databases like MySQL but not generic JDBC connections. You will use the MySQL Remoting feature to access MySQL as a remote MySQL database. This article shows how to use the CData JDBC Driver for MySQL to integrate with the External SQL Sources (ESS) feature in FileMaker Pro, which allows you to link records in FileMaker Pro with related records in your other operational data stores.
