What is the best Client/Server way to go?

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode
#1

Hey,

I want to make an application that runs on the client computer and connects to a database on the server.
It’s a database currently in FileMaker that enlists our MAC adresses that are allowed to have an ip address via DHCP.
Anyway…

I’d like to make this into an real application (not an filemaker document).
But i’m trying to make up what way to go on the database site.

What kind of database works best with an applescript application?
LDAP, MySql, or still FileMaker? Or something else?
What do you use and how do you talk to it via applescript.

Thanks in advance.

I am not a professional, nor do I know what is best, but mySQL is certainly popular, and I have been using it recently for some personal projects. If you download the script library from the link in the VERY LAST message in this thread, you will get all sorts of useful scripting tools to communicate with mySQL via AS.
