I think all we dream about special utility which which will be able in one
mouse click import into Valentina dbs from fileMaker, Access, mySQL, ...

Jochen, I think it will be great to have such functionality in Valentina
Studio.

Valentina can recreate structure only from own XML file.

Can FileMaker produce some kind of SQL dump with commands
    CREATE TABLE ?

If yes, then I think this can helps a lots.
