Could someone point me to an idiot's guide to installing ODBC support
for OS X? I know there have been instructions posted in the past but
I am onsite and don't have my Tango-Talk archive accessible and can't
find anything useful in the online Witango Talk archive
I am trying to connect to a Filemaker 8.5 database on the same
machine as a Witango Lite 5.5 server running on OS X Server 10.4.8. I
am doing this because we plan to stay with Filemaker in the short-
term and then evaluate migrating to MySQL. We need the Filemaker
interface for letter & label printing, etc. I have the standard
install MySQL 4.1.13a running on the server and have installed
CocoaMySQL for testing purposes. I have downloaded Filemaker 8.5 test
drive & built a test database on the server
Currently the database is in Filemaker 5 on OS 9 (sigh) and I'll move
it to 8.5 or 6 or whatever will work without having to buy Filemaker
server version
I know Witango & Filemaker pretty well but know nothing at all about
ODBC, JDBC, SQL & etc. I've looked at the OpenLink,
ActualTechnologies and DataDirect ODBC drivers and have installed the
ActualODBC pack for MySQL but I'm now in acronym hell without a clue
Thanks
