[gdal-dev] odbc issue

[Kurt Schwehr]

Hi,

Is the original data in FileMaker?  If so, is there something about
FileMaker that you specifically need?  Like is a FileMaker archaeology app
that you need?  And are there more updates to the data coming?

I ask because, if the data is static and there isn't anything special in
the land of FileMaker that you can't get elsewhere, then maybe you can
convert one time to something like geopackage and be done with FileMaker.
Then you can use any tool that reads that format including QGIS.  That
would make the problem much simpler.
