Haven't considered that option. The closest I've come to using FileMaker is
ClarisWork databases. I've also toyed with MS Access a bit, but not much
further in the relational database arena. My AppleScript databases work
really well, because of the powerful property name/value pairing scheme,
but the only limitation is I must know the property label prior to reading
its value. How does FileMaker compare to this limitation. The second
advantage I have is creating records with unique fields, but FileMaker
records all share common fields, as I understand. It's just a matter of
creating different layouts. Correct me if I'm wrong. I will be looking into
using MacPerl as a solution to my problem here.
