Chapter 6 | Using JDBC to share FileMaker data 28
Verifying access via JDBC
Note The sample file FMServer_Sample cannot be used to test JDBC connections. To test
JDBC connections, upload your own database.
When verifying access to a FileMaker database file via JDBC, make sure:
1 the FileMaker database file is hosted and available
1 your FileMaker account uses a privilege set with the fmxdbc extended privilege for access via
ODBC/JDBC
1 The FileMaker Server or FileMaker Pro host application has been set up for sharing via
ODBC/JDBC
To share a FileMaker database file as a data source, use FileMaker Pro to define accounts that
need access to the database file. Then, control access to the database file by assigning
privilege sets to the accounts, including the fmxdbc extended privilege for access via
ODBC/JDBC. Finally, enable the FileMaker Server or FileMaker Pro host application to share
data via ODBC/JDBC. For details, see FileMaker Pro
Help or FileMaker Server Help.
1 The JDBC client driver registration and the JDBC URL are correct (the driver can be included
inside the Java Application or located on the client machine)
