FmPro Migrator 2.91 Enterprise Edition
1-10-2005 - Fremont, CA - .com Solutions Inc.
Releases FmPro Migrator 2.91 Enterprise Edition - New MacOS X Release
Adds Drag and Drop Conversion of Access Database Files to FileMaker 7.
New release to be demonstrated at MacWorld Expo booth #749 in San
Francisco, January 11 - 14, 2005.
.com Solutions Inc., a developer of
multi-platform database migration and development tools, has released
FmPro Migrator 2.91 with a new Microsoft Access to FileMaker 7
migration feature for MacOS X.
FmPro Migrator 2.91 now employs a new drag and
drop user interface for Access to FileMaker 7 migrations, thus
simplifying the migration process. Dropping one ore more Access 97 or
Access 2000 database files onto FmPro Migrator instantly reads the
metadata from each Access database file and creates the required
FileMaker 7 migration scripts.
.com Solutions Inc. will be demonstrating FmPro
Migrator at MacWorld booth #749, January 11 - 14th, 2005. FileMaker
developers are encouraged to stop by the .com Solutions Inc. booth to
have their FileMaker migration questions answered and to see a demo of
the new features which have recently been added to FmPro
Migrator.
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 database servers.
Supported databases include MySQL, Oracle (8, 8i-9i, 10g), Access, SQL
Server, Sybase, DB2, PostgreSQL and FrontBase.
FmPro Migrator New Features and Improvements
include:
-- Access to FileMaker 7 Migration on MacOS X -
Access 97 and Access 2000 database files can now be dropped onto FmPro
Migrator to start the migration process. FmPro Migrator reads the
metadata from each Access database file, then creates the required
migration scripts. The resulting migration scripts are instantly
generated and written into the user selected output directory. These
scripts still need to be run on Windows in order to utilize FileMaker
7 and Access ODBC drivers which are currently only available for
Windows.
-- Upsize Microsoft Access to FileMaker 7 -
Converting Access to FileMaker 7 enables developers to take advantage
of the enhanced performance and capabilities of FileMaker 7. FileMaker
7 databases can handle up to 8TB of data and can include thousands of
fields, compared to the 2Gb file size limit and 255 field limit of
Microsoft Access.
-- Repeating Fields Extraction Scripts Improved -
The previously implemented repeating fields extraction scripts have
been improved for database migrations for all supported databases. The
primary change has been with the implementation of the primary key
determination algorithm.
-- 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.
FmPro Migrator is available for MacOS X and
Windows. A functional demo version of FmPro Migrator may be downloaded
from www.fmpromigrator.com/downloads/index.html. For more info please see: www.fmpromigrator.com/products/fmpro_migrator
