Hi. I have a a 200 megabyte FileMaker Database that I need to convert to SQL so that it can be used on a PHP website. It contains some graphics (which is part of why it is soo big.) Is there any quick way to convert it to SQL without having to pay FileMaker for their program? Also It would be nice if I could extract the graphics and have the file name be the primary key from the field they were pulled from. David

FileMaker has an ODBC interface, correct? Use a script (maybe in PHP) to pull the data from FileMaker and dump it into the other database. Example here. Write your SQL queries and wrap your script code around them. "extract the graphics and have the file name be the primary key from the field they were pulled from." Do this while you are transfering the data or after. I suppose it would be more straightforward to alter the data after you have made the conversion. It's usually best to simply use the vendor software for this task unless you have a good idea of what you are doing. In the end buying the software may actually save you time, hence money.
