It's tough comparing databases that are not in the same class. MySQL is
better than FileMaker (even v7) in lots of way, but then, Filemaker is
better in some ways too. MySQL will be far more scalable than
FileMaker. But you'll be more productive in FileMaker based on it's
ease of use. At least

If you want a one-time transfer, the simple and cheap way is through
some sort of text file; CVS or tab-delimited, for example.
If you want the two databases
FM is no problem. You can output from it to a tab-delimited file and then
INSERT it into a mySQL DB. Or, a number of mySQL clients, including
myPHPAdmin, allow you to import a text file, such as a tabbed file (or CSV,
etc.). You must first set up your mySQL datatbase and be sure that the field

No, I want to just go from FileMaker to MySQL, period. Forever. End of story.
I'm tired of paying "FileMaker Tax" every year. (The version upgrade went from
$149 to $199 this year.) I'm

I never actually looked into it. There are so many "work arounds" I need
to do in FileMaker that I just redesign the tables in MySQL.
If there isn't a FileMaker converter, I'm sure there is a DBF converter.
You can just save you FileMaker databases as DBF and then convert them.

This can be done easily (we do it every
If you can load the data into MySQL, put the date field into a CHAR(10)
field. After the data load, add a date field using ALTER TABLE. You
should then be able to run something like
UPDATE TABLE tablename SET NewDate
= CONCAT(
RIGHT(OrigDate,4),
