The new office likes FileMaker... No, seriously, they actually like it. And for what they use it for, I don't really blame them.
It didn't take long before I needed to query some data from one of the FileMaker databases. Now, there are ways to do this from inside FileMaker, but I just wanted to run a simple query.
Enter the DSN Query Analyzer. It is a lightweight query analyzer clone that connects to the DSN connections set up on your machine. It was written by a guy in the Netherlands. You can check out his website, if you can speak the language.
One note of importance... System DSN's do not save login information. That would be a gigantic security hole. So when you give the analyzer the name of the DSN to point to, you have to also pass in the login information. Here is the syntax:
MyDSNName;UIS=username;Pwd=password
