Plug-ins? You don't need any plug-ins to export data to MySQL. The only
plug-in for Filemaker I've ever heard of concerning MySQL is one that
allowed you to access MySQL data through Filemaker.

MySQL will import data from CSV format quite happily, with no extras
required.

I would be extremely surprised if there was!
I think you're getting into extremely muddy waters here. What you're trying
to do is very simple. Just open your Filemaker database, export the fields
you want to a tab-seperated text file, transfer that file to your MySQL
server (make sure you convert Mac line breaks to UNIX too) and import the
file using the LOAD DATA statement in the MySQL command-line client.
