The new FileMaker Pro 9 and Alpha Five Version 8 Professional both do a good job of helping ordinary people create usefuland good-looking database applications. Both programs let you create desktop and Web databases for everything from e-mail
marketing campaigns and online storefronts to media libraries and Christmas card lists. But the programs have different
strengths: FileMaker is more intuitive, while Alpha Five offers more extensibility via scripts and Web apps.
FileMaker Pro 9FileMaker Pro 9's biggest addition is direct integration of SQL data sources within forms and reports. You
can now browse and edit live SQL data just as easily as you can native FileMaker data, after creating a one-time link to the
SQL data source. Workgroups can then easily access and update central SQL databases, such as for inventory or personnel
data. The new version also offers a friendly splash screen that links to excellent tutorials and help files, as well as to
templates and recently used databases
