Hi

        You are right. We can't use .kexi DB with other program. It isn't a
standard file. I hope than in the future they change it.

Regards,

Jorge Rodríguez

I have been looking at Kexi as well.  As I understand it, Kexi currently
offers read-only access to DBs not actually created from within Kexi.  If
you have already created a database, you will not have write access to that
DB.  That said, if you create the DB from within Kexi, you can use it more
or less as a front-end.  I haven't tried it yet on my Debian-KDE box, but I
may do just that.  I think Calligra is going to be worth watching.

I have used Base and learned a fair amount in the process.  Based on the
number of postings about Base here on the list, I certainly hope it gets
more attention.  I would offer to jump in, but I honestly can't code my way
out of a wet paper bag. :-(

I have used OOo/LO for several years now, but mind you, I am supportive of
most libre projects.

Hi :)
You are welcome.  I just stumbled on that info just before reading your
post.  I
had heard of Kexi and Calligra before and had a quick hunt around their
site and
wikipedia but just before your post i'd had to look a bit deeper.  Spooky
timing! :)
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)
Kexi is the database app in Calligra.  Calligra is a fork of KOffice.
 KOffice

gave all their remaining database devs to Calligra and dropped their
version of

the database.  Calligra seems very active.


Unfortunately Calligra and KOffice are really quite dependant on the K
Desktop

Environment (KDE).  They do have a port for Windows (and possibly Mac,
i'm not

sure).  Calligra have also developed a few apps that can work on mobile
platforms but that doesn't include Kexi yet.


So,  the non-KDE versions of distros are going to ask for a  lot of
dependencies, probably Qt libraries and stuff.  You will probably need to
add
the appropriate official repos.


For Ubuntu you can try
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
to install all of Kubuntu into Ubuntu but you might want to revert to
your
Gnome

or Unity DE at the login prompt (have a look along the bottom
task-bar/panel
when you get the login prompt).

A few people are now working on Base.  A couple of devs and i think 1 for
documentation (might be 2).  It is a tough challenge but that makes it
fun
right?
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Kexi

Hi

    Many days ago some of us were talking about BASE and its problems.
One
of you noted about "Kexi" base program that's part of Office Suite of
KDE ... as alternative of BASE.

    I installed that Office suite in Fedora 15 and opened access 2003
data
base that I have. I can't probe with 2007 access data base because I
don't have an example of that.

    I'm not use it a lot but it looks good. I suggest to others to test
it
if have time and are interested because it would be an alternative to
BASE if it won't improve in the next time.

    I have to say that the KDE complete Office suite (Included Kexi)
isn't
in Ubuntu 10.04 lts repositories. I think is a recently improved program
of KDE.

    I hope this post help some one though it isn't part of LO.

Regards,
