an update of fmSQL Synch, a replication and synchronizing utility which<br />
updates records in both a FileMaker and SQL database. Available for Mac OS<br />
9 and Mac OS X, fmSQL Synch employs AppleEvents and JDBC to exchange data<br />
between FileMaker and SQL databases.</p>
<p>Existing databases can be configured for synchronizing with just a few<br />
modifications. fmSQL Synch can also be used to migrate data to/from<br />
FileMaker and SQL databases.</p>
<p>Two-way synchronizing will update data from both FileMaker and SQL<br />
databases. Synchronizing includes updating changed records as well as<br />
adding or deleting records. Any record changes made in the FileMaker<br />
databases are replicated in the SQL database and vice-versa.</p>
<p>fmSQL Synch employs field-level conflict checking and resolution. Changes<br />
to records in both databases are compared on a field-by-field basis. Any<br />
records that have been modified on both FileMaker and SQL database since<br />
the last synchronization will have all change conflicts logged so the user<br />
can choose which data to keep.</p>
<p>fmSQL Synch has been designed to be easy to use. The setup assistant will<br />
walk the user through the required configuration steps, including setting<br />
up the JDBC connection details and choosing which fields to use from each<br />
table.</p>
<p>Easily integrate existing FileMaker solutions with a few extra<br />
modifications to any existing databases. Once modified the user can use<br />
fmSQL Synch to synchronize FileMaker and SQL databases and control all<br />
synching conflicts.</p>
<p>After selecting which fields to synchronize in the SQL tables, the user can<br />
have fmSQL Synch create all the SQL statements automatically. The user can<br />
even let fmSQL Synch create the SQL tables which also makes it useful as a<br />
tool for FM to SQL migration.</p>
<p>"Companies have found cost savings in using a separate web database and are<br />
looking for ways to exchange data with both their web database and their<br />
in-house database" said Charlie Garrison, founder of Garrison Computer<br />
Services. "fmSQL Synch was developed to make that data exchange easy and<br />
reliable."</p>
<p>"The updated fmSQL Synch app worked flawlessly today. Tried couple of times<br />
as I did before, I can not break the synchronization. Besides my testings,<br />
the fmSQL Synch synchronization has kept pace with our Production users<br />
throughout the day. Needless to say, I am ecstatic."<br />
--Henry Chang, Pentagon Technologies</p>

<p>REQUIREMENTS</p>
<p>- OS9 or OSX 10.2 or later<br />
- FileMaker Pro v4 or later (not compatible with FMv7 until fmSQL Synch v2)<br />
- SQL Plugin v2.1.2 or later<br />

beta testing and a public beta will be released in a few weeks.</p>
<p>The SQL Plugin from Rumora Automatisering en Advies is required. The latest<br />
version (at this time) is SQL Plugin 2.1.4. The plugin is commercial<br />
software but a demo version is available for testing fmSQL Synch. A demo<br />

fmSQL Synch bundled with SQL Plugin is available.</p>
<p>A JDBC driver for the SQL database is also required. fmSQL Synch has been<br />
developed for use with mySQL but any database which has a JDBC driver<br />
should work. The latest version (at this time) is MySQL Connector/J 3.0.15.<br />
The driver is free to download and its use is licensed under the GPL. The<br />
mySQL driver has been included in the fmSQL Synch package for convenience.</p>
