Hi Andy,

It should be pretty easy to create a new SimpleSqlDialect class that LabKey would use to talk to the FileMaker JDBC driver. The MySqlDialect is a good example of creating a new dialect. The external data source code uses the SqlDialect to abstract away the differences between the data sources and should "just work." To provide a SqlDialect, your module needs to register your SqlDialectFactory with the SqlDialectManager.
