    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.
