New SQLexplorer

July 22, 2013

Jason has just completed a major new version of SQLexplorer that makes it easier for beginners and pros alike to write better queries.

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 […]
