And while I’ve largely turned to online database apps, notably Zoho Creator, it becomes frustrating when I try to do more complex work, such as querying multiple tables or setting up sophisticated many-to-many relationships, or customizing data view layouts.Īs a result, when I heard about the introduction of FileMaker Pro 11, it seemed time at last to take FileMaker out for a spin.

Yet while I’m most comfortable with the database I learned on - MySQL - I don’t work with it often enough to feel confident writing complex SQL commands. Having parsed and plotted three years worth of pedestrian accident data from my town just because the info was available, it’s fair to say I’m somewhat of a data geek.
