FileMaker Database Connection Help
RazorSQL does not ship with drivers for connecting to FileMaker databases.
To connect to FileMaker using RazorSQL,
JDBC drivers will need to be downloaded. At one point, FileMaker JDBC drivers were
included with the FileMaker Developer edition. This may no longer be the case.
For Mac Users, there is a download available at the following link that includes
a Mac disk image containing the FileMaker JDBC drivers:
http://www.filemaker.com.au/support/updaters/xdbc_odbc_mac.html
The FileMaker JDBC driver is apparently the SequeLink client for JDBC provided
by DataDirect Technologies. See www.datadirect.com for more information.
Prior to connecting to FileMaker, there are some steps that need to be taken:
1. Launch your FileMaker software and open a database.
2. Go to the File - Sharing - ODBC/JDBC menu option.
3. Turn ODBC / JDBC Sharing on and select the user access for the database, such as "All Users"
To connect to FileMaker, make sure your FileMaker software is running and has a database open, open the Connections -> Add Connection Profile menu option inside of RazorSQL and select FileMaker as the database type.
Click the browse button next to the "Driver Location" field to select the FileMaker jdbc driver
jar file on your machine. The name should be the following:
sljc.jar
The driver class should be pre-filled in as com.ddtek.jdbc.sequelink.SequeLinkDriver
The default user and password is Admin for the user name and nothing for the password.
