Quite agree with Has here. I wouldn’t use FileMaker for, ummm, anything where I cared about the data stored in it.
First question I’d ask myself about any database is whether it’s ACID compliant. If not then I’d not even consider it. FileMaker isn’t ACID compliant so it doesn’t make it off the starting blocks.
Postgres as described by Has is an option. As is MySQL (which is my usual favourite, and I know Has disagrees! ;-) ). Personally I prefer to write web services to let my scripts talk to the MySQL database.
Its worth mentioning that MySQL is only ACID compliant if you choose the right storage engine. e.g. InnoDB.
