I have been able to both import and update remote MySQL data with Filemaker 6 and the OpenLink driver (using a 30-day demo). That's the good news - it does indeed perform queries and retirn (import) the results. The bad news (from my point of view) is that, aside from the fact that the driver is not free (as someone else pointed out), the FM interface for this is pretty clunky, even if you script the query (3 or 4 dialog boxes each time to ok the data source, user login, and query). And you can't create forms that will allow you to work easily with the data on the server. It has to be imported into a FileMaker file first.

We're working on porting over to OS X; if it works, it will be a.much. better solution than FM.
