Query any JDBC database from FileMaker.
Any JDBC source
If a JDBC driver exists, the plugin can talk to it. PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift — all in.
Result sets
Run a query and get rows back as an in-memory result set. Loop through the results right in your script.
Read and write
INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE all supported. Parameter binding prevents SQL injection.
Advantages over ODBC.
| JDBC plugin | |
|---|---|
| Reads and writes container/BLOB data to other databases | ✓ |
| No per-client setup like ODBC needs; just the location of a JDBC driver | ✓ |
| Embed the JDBC driver .jar in a container field, or load it from a URL | ✓ |
| Read results directly in scripts, or via import (ODBC is import-only) | ✓ |
What customers say about JDBC Plugin.
“Using the 360Works JDBC plugin to perform my queries cut the time down to .04 seconds each. Processing a batch of 100 records now takes about 4 seconds, rather than the 9½ minutes it took using FileMaker's built-in functionality.”

System Requirements
All of our products are supported on Mac, Windows, and Linux — system requirements are the same as those of FileMaker.
Common questions.
360Works plugins are compatible with the FileMaker 16 platform and higher.
All of our plugins are designed to run on Mac and on Windows. All system requirements are the same as those of FileMaker. As long as you meet FileMaker's minimum requirements, you can run our plugins. Please reference the FileMaker operating system requirements for all versions.
Our plugins are supported in FileMaker Cloud 1.17 and 1.18, but FileMaker Cloud 2 does not support any plugins. You can still use the plugins in FileMaker Pro accessing a solution hosted on FileMaker Cloud 2, but server side scripts utilizing plugins will not work.
If you purchase the Enterprise License (see the pricing above), then you will be able to use the plugin with the FileMaker Web Publishing Engine. This means that when you use our plugins in your FileMaker scripts, they will work the same way with Instant Web Publishing (IWP) or WebDirect. It also means that your Custom Web Publishing applications (with XSLT, PHP, or any other web technology) can call FileMaker scripts that use our plugins.
Yes, all of our plugins work in FileMaker runtime solutions, just copy the plugin to the runtime's Extensions folder.
Most of our plugins are available in 3 licenses: a demo version which works for 2 hours every time you launch FileMaker, a Workgroup license for 10 or fewer users, and an Enterprise license for unlimited users within a single organization.
If you'd like to add plugin functionality to a mobile solution, there are a number of options available. Plugins cannot be installed directly on a iPhone or iPad, but you can trigger a script on a machine that does have the plug-in installed. Using FileMaker Server, you can have routine scripts that will process all the outstanding function calls. For an example on how to do this, see this article on accomplishing this with Plastic. Alternatively you could integrate RemoteScripter to trigger server side scripts.
