Today we like to connect to a DuckDB database from FileMaker using the SQL functions in MBS FileMaker Plugin. For that we need the client libraries for DuckDB, but where to get them?
macOS with homebrew
For macOS you can use homebrew to install the duckdb package. Then you get the duckdb library installed.
You find the library on an Apple Silicon Mac:
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/duckdb/1.2.1/lib/libduckdb.dylib
For an Intel Mac, you find it in the /usr/local folder in a sunfolder.

Today we like to connect to Postgres Database server from FileMaker using the SQL functions in MBS FileMaker Plugin. For that we need the client libraries for Postgres, but where to get them?
macOS
For macOS you can download the Postgres App to get a local test server for Postgres on your Mac. You can directly point to the libpq.5.dylib within the application.
We adjusted the install names to make them work into the Frameworks folder of your application. The libpq library needs crypto and ssl libraries, so these must be in the same folder. We got the libraries here for you: PostgreSQL Libraries. You can store these for example in the Extensions folder next to our plugin.
