Hi all, I would like to be able to connect to an filemaker database and run any 'queries' on the database and retreive results in an ... array.
Is this possible? And how?

From my limited experience with FileMaker, it sounds like you want to set up FileMaker as an ODBC source
and use some sort of library to connect to that source
These are just the result of two quick google searches, but for the second link (the ODBC iOS library) you may be able to find other libraries.
Any queries? Are you sure?
For a certain defined set of queries, the common approach nowadays is to add web service abilities to the database and then access it via a RESTful API.
What do you mean, am I sure?
Then I think you should look into setting up your Filemaker database as a web service that you can make REST calls against. Since I don't know much about Filemaker, I'll have to leave it to others as to how this might be done. Although I did find this in a quick Google search on "filemaker rest api": RESTfmActually I would just want to do some select queries.
