 DW> I am curious as to what Filemaker is.

Filemaker is/was a simple database put out originally for Mac, but eventually
made cross-platform. It let you drag and drop fields and was multi-user. When
they first started out, Filemaker needed a copy on each client PC. Later, they
added a web component, so you could hit the filemaker server with a web
browser.

It was easy to use but didn't scale well, so lots of user departments would
throw a quick DB together, then complain to IT when it fell over after too
many users.

I have a friend who was a Filemaker consultant, one of his biggest clients was
Oracle. Don't tell anyone.
