This video will demonstrate a sync configuration between FileMaker Server and a MySQL database which will allow you to build FileMaker Web Apps prepared for high traffic.

Along with the use case presented in this video, MirrorSync can sync FileMaker to just about ANYTHING and it is an excellent way to use FileMaker offline, then sync to FileMaker Server when you have network access again. You can view further documentation on MirrorSync here: http://docs.360works.com/index.php/MirrorSync_6

More About This Video:
FileMaker is the best tool for rapid application development, but it is not the most reliable or scalable option for high traffic web sites. MySQL provides that reliability and scalability, but can’t compare to FileMaker for development productivity and user friendliness.

360Works MirrorSync bridges this gap, letting you use each tool for its best purpose. Quickly create layouts, scripts, and schema in FileMaker Pro, test and refine them, then use MirrorSync to publish all your record data to MySQL and keep both databases in sync moving forward. You can use industry-standard tools and frameworks (or hire from a vast talent pool) to create highly reliable and scalable web apps.

In the event that FileMaker Server is down or rebooted for any reason (such as software upgrades), your MySQL web app will continue running and serving users. MirrorSync will detect when FileMaker Server comes back online and bring both databases back in sync.

This video, narrated by Junior Perez of 360Works, takes you on a step-by-step walk-through of how to sync between FileMaker Server and MySQL.

Junior demonstrates how to start with a completely empty MySQL Server, create the database and tables, and set up an auto-scheduled sync to run every 60 seconds.

The process is the same for any other JDBC-compatible database such as SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.

The license price for syncing one FileMaker Server with any one of these databases is $1,800, with discounts available for educational and non-profit organizations.

I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while now, as there’s lots of talk about sync in the FileMaker community.
