Introduction

fmSQL Synch is a utility to synchronize data from your FileMaker and SQL databases. Data is compared on a record by record as well as field by field basis. Existing databases can be configured for synchronizing with just a few modifications. fmSQL Synch can also be used to migrate data to/from FileMaker and SQL databases.

Features

Two-way synchronizing
You can synchronize data from both FileMaker and SQL databases. Synchronizing includes updating changed records as well as adding or deleting records. Any changes made in your FileMaker databases are also made in your SQL database and vice-versa.
Field level conflict checking and resolution
Changes to records in both databases is compared on a field-by-field basis. Any records that have been modified on both FileMaker and SQL database since the last synchronization will have all change conflicts logged so you can choose which data you want to keep.
Setup Assistant
fmSQL Synch has been designed to be easy to use. The setup assistant will walk you through the steps of configuring up for your environment.
Easily integrates with existing FileMaker solutions
A few extra modifications to your existing FileMaker databases is all that you need to do. Once modified you can synchronize your FileMaker and SQL databases and control all merge conflicts.
Will create all the SQL statements for you automatically
After selecting which fields you want to synchronize in your SQL tables, you can have fmSQL Synch create all the SQL statements automatically. You can even let fmSQL Synch create the SQL tables for you which makes it useful as a FM->SQL migration as well.
