Querying an SQL database


  • Subject: Querying an SQL database

Are there any tools or tricks available that I can use to get AppleScript (or AS Studio) to query a mySQL database running on an OS X Server from OS X Client machine?

I am currently working for a company that uses FileMaker for everything except accounting and making the tea. FileMaker isn't the problem; the problem comes from the volume of data and the fact that a lot of the data is replicated - if it's changed in one place it has to be manually changed in all the other places. I thought a nice, relational mySQL database with an ASS front end would do the trick but I am unable to find a way to connect the two.

Any suggestions gratefully received. If you're interested, what I'd ideally like to be able to do is a query such as "SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName FROM Customers" and display the result in a NSTableView. And, since this is at an experimental stage, it would also help if the solution was free, cheap or came with a long (60 day+) trail period.

Thanks in advance,


Steve

PS. I just found today that my employers firewall blocks any emails that I send that contain the acronym version of Apple Script Studio... Hmmm...
