Blue World ships FMP2MYSQL Kit
Free kit speeds process of converting FileMaker Pro solutions to MySQL The free kit includes tools and tutorials for converting FileMaker Pro solutions to MySQL. The kit is designed to make it extremely easy for novice users to migrate Web-bound FileMaker Pro solutions to MySQL.
The FMP2MySQL Kit empowers knowledge workers to migrate solutions on their own without the cost and complexity involved with hiring a dedicated programmer. The kit also clearly explains the differences in database architecture between FileMaker Pro and MySQL and explains how to replicate all of the familiar and easy to use tools and functions built-in to FileMaker Pro via tools which directly support MySQL. For example, the kit explains how to use the recently released Lasso Reporter solution to create reports on MySQL data similar to how one traditionally creates reports within FileMaker Pro. The kit also demonstrates how to recreate summaries, calculations, scripts and other proprietary FileMaker Pro routines to Web-based routines tied to MySQL.
The kit includes the following components:
Admin.LassoApp - Updated version of the Lasso Administration LassoApp with enhancements which facilitate recognition of FileMaker Pro data types when performing FileMaker Pro to MySQL conversions within the Lasso Database Builder.
