The (non-WooF) trick with that is that FileMaker doesn't even have a concept of specifying a primary key, just a unique key that auto- populates as a number. My solution was to generate a PK with EO_PK_TABLE and then prefix that value with some value so that there is no overlap with re

I definitely understand the legacy FileMaker problem. To elaborate a bit... I have used FileMaker with WO on two projects, sans WooF. I don't recall the reason for not using WooF in my application - it was certainly around at the time, but it was still commercial. My use of FileMake

Hi Sherry, From Oracle to FileMaker. You sure do run the gamut of tools there! :-) If you just need to work with a snapshot, FrontBase has a FileMaker to FrontBase migration tool. That would give you a real SQL92 database to work with. Chuck On Jun 24, 2009, at 11:06 AM, Clark

You'd be happier if you went CamelCase, but I recommend against FileMaker + WO. There are lots of gotchas; the FileMaker JDBC driver is pretty weak. Clark On 2009-06-24, at 10:59 AM, Sherry Tirko wrote: Hello, I have to interface with a Filemaker database which has spaces
