Ever since we built our first calendar in FileMaker 5, we’ve been publishing that data to iCal (and then to Google Calendar) one way or another. We’ve always wanted something simpler, and now we have it. SeedCode Subscribe is the simplest way we’ve found to get your FileMaker data into iCal, Google Calendar, and the calendars on your iPhone and iPad. Please check it out here, where you’ll…
Jason has just completed a major new version of SQLexplorer that makes it easier for beginners and pros alike to write better queries. If you haven’t used SQLexplorer before, it writes FileMaker SQL queries for you as you fill out a simple form using FileMaker terms your familiar with (sorts, relationships, etc). You can then test your query right in SQLexplorer before copying and pasting it into your…
Just got this from John Weinshel and had to share… “I love SQL, love that it’s as old as relational databases, sort of Codd’s afterthought. It’s like Freud, after describing his entirely new model of the universe, added a coda, psychoanalysis, for putting it to use. Except SQL is free and it works.” Priceless.
Very proud to have shipped SQL Explorer, a tool for learning SQL (so you can use ExecuteSQL in FileMaker 12) using FileMaker metaphors you already know. You can learn more about the Explorer and download a copy here: SQLexplorer But I wanted to take a moment and point out three things that make this a new kind of product for us… 1. This is the first product we…
The problem. SQL, including the new ExecuteSQL calc function in FileMaker 12, returns dates in this format: YYYY-MM-DD. This can be a bit of a pain if you have a string of text like this and just want to transform the date part: 1170 - 2012-03-09 - - Keep: Beta Presentation @ BRN Co 1171 - 2012-03-15 - 08:30:00 - Call Arthur Murray to finalize data 1172 -…
If you wanted to use a tab control on your layout but hide it from your users, you used to have to cover it with another tab and/or make the tab text very small. This is because you both have to visually hide the tab AND prevent users who actually click on it’s tab controls from activating it. While this worked, the layouts were kind of hard to…
FileMaker SQL: Simplify and Stay on Screen FileMaker 12 lets us run SQL queries against our own FileMaker tables. This has been possible with plugins for a while and a number of serious devs like Mike Lee, Greg Lane, and Kevin Frank have been talking about what a great technique this is. I completely agree and think the new ExecuteSQL calc function is the killer feature of FileMaker…
We’re thrilled to announce our new Free Calendar Template for FileMaker 12. We’ve rewritten the free calendar to take advantage of some of the new things in FileMaker 12, including the new look and feel, but perhaps most importantly, the new ExecuteSQL function. This makes the new calendar simpler, less dependent on context, and easier to integrate. Checkout this short introduction demonstrating how this new SQL stuff makes…
