FileMaker Pro 9 Receives Five Mice Rating from Macworld
mary | 17 August, 2007 08:30
FileMaker Pro 9 contains a number of nice but non-dramatic improvements over previous versions of the product, and one major surprise: support for direct access to Structured Query Language (SQL) databases. Feel intimidated by the very sound of it? Don’t be. FileMaker still has the lowest geekiness-to-power ratio of any database management system on the market.
FileMaker Pro 9 comes in two flavors: a standard and an advanced version. The latter includes some extra developer-oriented features, but otherwise it is much like the standard version, so most of what I say here applies equally to both. FileMaker also offers FileMaker Server 9 Standard and FileMaker Server 9 Advanced.
Macworld’s buying advice
For new buyers, FileMaker Pro 9 is the most attractive version of the product ever. But, should current users upgrade? For most, the answer is yes. If you are still using FileMaker 6 (or 7 or 8 or 8.5) and you tend just to tinker around—something FileMaker almost encourages—download the demo and decide for yourself if features like Append to PDF and conditional formatting are worth the cost of the upgrade. At least nothing will break while you try out the new version, since FileMaker Pro 9 uses the same .fp7 file format as the last three releases. But for those users who work with FileMaker a lot, FileMaker Pro 9 is the third home run FileMaker has hit in its last four times at bat.
