You could try setting up FileMaker to query MySQL directly, using ODBC.
Otherwise, you can't create a FileMaker database directly, so you need to create an import format that FileMaker understands (tab, command, sylk, etc.). You would need to keep in mind that you may have embedded returns and/or tabs in your data that would screw up things like tab-delimited or comma delimited formats. For embedded returns, FileMaker uses vertical tabs (ascii 11). So you would need to convert all your returns (ascii 13) to vertical tabs before exporting in a tab-delimited format. Embedded tabs you'll have to come up with some other scheme, like replacing them with 4 spaces before exporting from MySQL.

Hi all,
This is perhaps off-topic, but I need to dump my MySQL database into a
format that FileMaker Pro will understand. Does anyone have any tips for
doing this?
Thanks in advance,
Erich
