Re: WebCatalog vs Lasso or Frontier

Except that FileMaker is not entirely ODBC 2.1 compliant which means that it can only send SQL statements to an ODBC data source, but not receive them.

As for the speed of FileMaker and Lasso, it really depends on your configuration. If FileMaker has its own CPU then your web solution can be really fast. Lasso will communicate with any number of remote FileMaker databases, on any number of remote machines via the FileMaker Remote module. This bypasses FileMaker's 50 database limit, and since Lasso is a multi-threaded application you could theoretically be serving information from thousands of FileMaker databases onto the web.

Shouldn't be a problem since WebCatalog supports SQL commands.
