Use JDBC data extracts (rather than the FileMaker Data API)

The other way to connect FileMaker and Tableau is the “Tableau Web Data Connector for FileMaker.” It’s a nice thing. However, it uses the FileMaker Data API for the connection between FileMaker and Tableau. We built Tableau Connector in part so that we could leverage, instead, the JDBC connector. And, sure enough, in our testing, our method of syncing is ten times faster.
