I am afraid you have to learn SQL. Also if you use Filemaker to generate
a GUI or a web front-end you will have to program the equivalent
yourself.

On the good side, it will perform a lot better, you will no more have to
pay for updated version (= bug fix and new bug) and you will have your
data in an open format (SQL).
