SQL within FileMaker Pro

Expanding the Possibilities of Search

Location
Your desk! Online training via WebEx

Workshop Description

Use a SQL (Structured Query Language) framework to retrieve and manipulate data all within FileMaker. FileMaker can handle just about any level of complexity, so why bother using SQL if you're not even dealing with external data sources?

In this workshop, I demonstrate how‚ used effectively‚ partial data management via SQL can lead to fewer table occurrences, simplified relationships, reduced script management, all while providing more powerful and dynamic searching capability.
