I would use this method 
https://community.claris.com/en/s/question/0D50H00006h95LvSAI/quick-setup-for-filemaker-15-postgres-on-a-local-mac
to transfer all FileMaker data to PostgreSQL with the option to directly add 
geography locations as spatial geometries, 2D and 3D (PostGIS)

Filemaker is an old proprietary database isn't it? Is there a reason that you 
have to use it? QGIS has quite a bit of data processing power built in and 
easily connects to many FOSS databases. So I wonder if you might be better off 
using something better than Filemaker in the first place. Can you give us more 
details?

Good morning,

I write because I’ve a big issue. I’m an italian archaeologist and I’m doing a 
PhD in an archaeological site in Spain. My project was based on doing a gis on 
this site, but after an year working on it, my Professor told me I need to 
create an automatic connection between Filemaker and QGIS, otherwise I won’t be 
allow to continue my Phd, that for me it’s kind of like life and death.

After some months of attempts I was able to connect the softwares through ODBC 
(but there are some bugs and it works only using some specific versions), but 
currently only filemaker can dialogue with QGIS but not vice versa. I think 
that the issue is that ODBC driver that filemaker use for connecting to QGIS is 
“read only”. I did some attempts also between filemaker and LibreOffice and 
I’ve the same issue, so I doubt could be that filemaker doesn’t give the 
permission for driver “writ”.

Anyway I read here 
(https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/odbc.html?fbclid=IwAR2mUiMTb9hsGLpDdSaSY_qnpny8DUTDKc49WVkPw4yvizBBnPB9JoOByX8#creation-issues)
 that could be also a QGIS issue, so I want to know what do you think about 
that and if this problem could be solved implementing that. My PhD is without 
scholarship (so I’m not paid for this), but I’m so desperate that I’m willing 
to pay for resolve this problem and, in this cane, I need to know how much 
would be.

Thank you so much.

Margherita Zannini
