For all those UK TechNet members out there, just to let you know I’ll be giving a preview of one of my DevCon talks at the next TechNet meeting, only we’ll be expanding it into more of a workshop – so bring your laptops.
Recently we have been working on a system that requires a large amount of data to be synchronized to MySQL (for driving a web interface) from FileMaker. After a few initial tests of methods for achieving this we found that the speed of the transfer was un-acceptable due to the large amount of data being transferred. The transfer was set to take place at several points throughout the day and would often still be running when it needed to run again – not good.
I am continuing to work on an ESS integration project and one of the biggest issues is speed when dealing with large record sets from MySQL.
I had a conference call with a client, one of their biggest customers and the customers’ developers the other day. Both the customer and my client are having new systems written (my client in FileMaker, my client’s customer in MySQL and, i guess, HTML) and they are both keen on integrating stock figures.
