[. . . ] The latest versions of the client drivers are also available from this URL: www. filemaker. com/support/technologies If you'll be hosting a FileMaker database file using FileMaker Server Advanced, make the client drivers available to remote users. After installing the client driver you need, you can configure the driver to access a FileMaker data source and construct SQL (Structured Query Language) queries to interact with the data. The JDBC client driver is the driver portions of the FileMaker software that allow third-party applications or custom applications to access FileMaker files as JDBC data sources. Software requirements To install and use the JDBC client drivers, you need JDK 1. 4 or later. To find which version of Java you're running, open a command window (Windows) or Terminal window (Mac OS) and type java -version. Networking requirements If you'll be accessing a FileMaker data source hosted on another computer, you'll need network access via TCP/IP. JDBC client driver installation You must have write access to the folder where you're installing the JDBC client driver. Do one of the following: 1 Windows: If you received your software electronically, double-click the installation icon (. exe file). 1 Mac OS: If you received your software electronically, double-click the disk image icon (. dmg file). 1 If you have an installation disk, insert the disk into the drive. 2. In the FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Server window, double-click the xDBC folder. In the xDBC folder, double-click the JDBC Client Driver Installer folder. 28 FileMaker ODBC and JDBC Guide 4. Copy the fmjdbc. jar file to the appropriate folder for your operating system: 1 Windows: Copy the fmjdbc. jar file to the folder that includes your Java executable file (java. exe) or to another folder location included in the ClassPath of your Java application. 1 Mac OS: Copy the fmjdbc. jar file to the /Library/Java/Extensions folder or to another folder location included in the ClassPath of your Java application. The JDBC client driver is now available for you to use to access a FileMaker data source. Using the JDBC client driver Your Java application or applet must register the JDBC client driver with the JDBC driver manager, and you must specify the correct JDBC URL from within the application or applet. Important You must reserve the port 2399 for the FileMaker JDBC client driver. For more information on using the JDBC client driver, see chapter 6, "Using JDBC to share FileMaker data. " Chapter 6 Using JDBC to share FileMaker data If you're a Java programmer, you can use the JDBC client driver with any Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool to visually create a Java application or applet that connects to a FileMaker data source. The Java application or applet that uses the JDBC client driver can directly access the data in a FileMaker database file. About JDBC JDBC is a Java API for executing SQL statements, the standard language for accessing relational databases. JDBC is a name and not an acronym -- although it is thought of as standing for "Java Database Connectivity" because it is the Java equivalent for ODBC. JDBC is a low-level interface, which means that it is used to call SQL commands directly. It is also designed to be used as a base for higher level interfaces and tools. Your Java applet or application can talk directly to a FileMaker database file by using the JDBC client driver. Your SQL statements are delivered to the FileMaker host of the database file and the results of those statements are sent back to you. If you use FileMaker Server to host, the FileMaker database file you're using as a data source can be located on another machine (the server machine) connected to the network, while your Java applet or client application is located on your machine (the client machine). This is referred to as a client/server configuration. Java application JDBC driver FileMaker Client machine Database server Using the JDBC client driver You can use the JDBC client driver with a Java compiler or RAD tool to connect with your database while you build the code for your Java application or applet. After the Java application or applet has been created, the JDBC client driver must be present with the files or included within the code in order for the application or applet to communicate with the database.
