[TCLUG] Filemaker (or equivalent) on Linux?

Tue Jul 20 08:39:25 CDT 2004

But if you find out what they are using FileMaker for, then you might find a
php/mysql web application already built.  If they are using FileMaker to
just store one table for addresses there are other options available.

I'm guessing something with an integrated front end, ala Access, FM,
Alpha5 or Rekall is the most important thing to the OP's wife/her
department.  We interfaces aren't the end all be all especially for a lot
of database apps requiring more than the standard name, address, email,
shipto of ecommerce.  They need and rdbms and frontend all rolled into
one.  Other than Rekall, there isn't much on Linux that fits the bill.
