Installing FileMaker ODBC and JDBC Client Drivers 9
For details on configuring a client driver and verifying access to your FileMaker data source, see the
FileMaker ODBC and JDBC Developer’s Guide, which is available as a PDF document on the
FileMaker
Pro CD in the folder \xDBC\Electronic Documentation, in the folder \English Extras\Electronic
Documentation where you installed FileMaker Server, and from www.filemaker.com/odbc. If you work in
a networked environment, contact your database administrator for a copy of the document.
For additional information about the ODBC client driver on Windows, choose the Windows Start menu >
Programs > DataDirect SequeLink for ODBC 5.4 > Driver Help.
Note The Help system, provided by DataDirect Technologies, describes some functionality beyond the
scope of using the ODBC and JDBC client drivers for accessing FileMaker data sources.
Where to go from here
After you install and configure a client driver, you can construct and execute SQL queries to access a
FileMaker data source.
Client applications sometimes use different terminology for accessing a data source via ODBC. Many
applications have menu items with names such as
Get external data or SQL query. Review the documentation
or Help that comes with your application for details.
