Pre FileMaker Pro 7 only one table per file was possible. With the release of FileMaker Pro 7, the application came of age allowing multiple tables within one database allowing many more complex relationships and tasks to be performed.

What is Consolidation?

Consolidation is the process of taking advantage of the multi-table framework and involves merging some or all of the single table files into one or more files.

The scenario to consolidate many files into few allows for more effective logistical and administrative control of files, easier backup strategies and an infinitely smoother user experience.

DataMate Solutions LLC has extensive experience in successfully consolidating very large and complex FileMaker Pro solutions from as early as FileMaker v3 and with as many as 100 files.
