FileMaker synchronization

Charlie was concerned about posting this because of the conflict of
interest, but it's so on topic that I think it's fine.

fmSQL Synch is another field-level synchronising tool, but it is designed to
work with FileMaker and an SQL database (eg. mysql driving dynamic Web site)
rather than between multiple copies of FileMaker. fmSQL Synch also handles
data conflicts (field changed in both databases since last synch) in a
graceful manner.

<http://www.garrison.com.au/products/fmsql_synch.html>

Quoted from the above page:

     fmSQL Synch is a utility to synchronize data from your FileMaker and
     (SQL) web databases. Data is compared on a record by record as well
     as field by field basis. Existing databases can be configured for
     synchronizing with just a few modifications.

A feature overview:

     Two-way synchronizing
     Field level conflict checking and resolution
     Setup Assistant
     Easily integrates with existing FileMaker solutions
     Will create all the SQL statements for you automatically

And the cost at $129 ($149 bundled with SQL Plugin) is *much* cheaper than
competing solutions (eg SyncDeK).

Please forward to the TidBITS Talk list if you feel it is appropriate (I am
one of your readers who remembers when issue #100 of TidBITS was distributed).
And if you want to do a mini-review in a future TidBITS, I'd love to answer
any questions you might have.
