Sharing FileMaker databases via ODBC and JDBC
You can use FileMaker Server to host a FileMaker database file as a
data source, sharing your data with other applications using
ODBC and
JDBC. FileMaker Server allows up to 50 connections and supports local access (same computer) and remote access (both for middleware such as
web servers, and for remote
client access from desktop productivity applications).
To share a hosted FileMaker Pro database via ODBC and JDBC:
Note If your FileMaker database solution uses more than one FileMaker database file, all of the database files must use this privilege set with the extended privilege Access via ODBC/JDBC enabled.
2. In FileMaker Server Admin Console, click the General Settings > ODBC/JDBC tab and select Enable ODBC/JDBC.
Note If your FileMaker solution uses more than one FileMaker database file, all of the database files must be hosted on the same FileMaker Server
deployment.
4. On each client computer that needs to access the hosted database, install and configure the FileMaker ODBC or JDBC client
driver.
