Glossary 159
Also refers to opening a file created with a previous version of FileMaker Pro.
D
Data Entry Only privilege set
One of the three pre-defined privilege sets that appear in every file. The Data Entry Only
privilege set allows read/write access to the records in a file, but not design access (for
example, the ability to create layouts and value lists).
Data source
The data you want to access (such as a DBMS) and information to locate the data (such
as the path or IP address).
Database Design Report
A FileMaker Pro Advanced tool that creates a report of your database schema.
Database file
A collection of information in a file containing one or more tables pertaining to a subject,
such as customers or invoices. (A large database can also comprise many database
files.)
Database Management System (DBMS)
An application that allows users to store, process, and retrieve information in a database.
Descending sort order
Reverse alphabetical sequence (Z to A) for words, highest to lowest order for numbers,
and latest to earliest dates and times.
Developer Utilities
A FileMaker Pro Advanced feature that lets you bind your files into a runtime solution,
display the files in Kiosk mode, customize FileMaker menus, and automatically rename
and update links in related files.
Domain name
The primary subdivision of Internet addresses, which is indicated by the last part of an
Internet address after the final period (or dot). In the United States, the standard domains
are .com, .edu, .gov, .mil, .org, and .net. In other countries, the top-level domain is usually
the country domain.
Driver
The ODBC or JDBC driver translates SQL queries into commands that a DBMS can
understand. It processes ODBC/JDBC calls, submits SQL requests to the data source,
and returns the data back to the driver manager, which then routes it to the requesting
application (for example, FileMaker Pro).
