KEXI is a visual database app builder. It can be used for designing database applications, inserting and editing data, performing queries, and processing data. Forms can be created to provide a custom interface to your data. All database objects – tables, queries, forms, reports – are stored in the database, making it easy to share data and design.
Kexi is considered as a long awaited Open Source competitor for Microsoft Access, FileMaker and Oracle Forms. Its development is motivated by the lack of Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools for database systems that are sufficiently powerful, inexpensive, open standards driven and portable across many operating systems and hardware platforms.
KEXI designed to work well not only on KDE but also on GNOME and other environments. It should be usable also without running KDE Desktop on Linux/Unix, MS Windows and Mac OS X platforms (support for the latter two is planned to be re-added).
KEXI TEAM IS LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK, DEVELOPERS, TESTERS, AND SUPPORT

-----------------------------------------------
Note: Versions 1.0-2.3 and have been released within KOffice, 2.4 and next versions are a part of the Calligra suite, successor of KOffice. Users are not forced to install all the Calligra packages to use Kexi.
Documentation should be available with the Linux KEXI package. If this is not the case in your distribution, the newest documentation is at http://userbase.kde.org/Kexi/Handbook

Ark Linux users simply apt-get install kexi (and maybe kexi-MySQL and/or kexi-PostgreSQL and/or kexi-msaccess); others in need of RPMs can try

have upgraded from .8 which was part of a SuSE 10 install. I then downloaded the rpm from the link and installed the newer version. However kexi will not start ... any ideas.

and I cannot find any reference under YAST for Kexi, just the KOffice base package. Kexi at the prompt does not produce errors, just the wrong version running. I would like to operate using MySQL on my server, also SuSE v9 I think from memory.
Sorry this is all a bit garbled

To find out what version do you have, try:
rpm -qa | grep koffice-database

From the command line try
rpm -qa | grep kexi
and then
rpm -e kexipackagename

I.e. how to do an app for a user, without kexi interface.
Another thing is scripts.
But I have to say I have good vibrations with kexi.

Translating Kexi Handbook to english is still in progress, a part of it can be found on the official KDE documentation web site:

There's no "final mode for users" functionality with editing blocked in Kexi. It's is planned after 1.0.
As a temporary solution I could recommend: to prevent creating and modifying tables by user you can alter permissions for creating and/altering tables using your database administration tool (eg. pg Admin or mysql Administrator).

You should be able to migrate an MDB database into kexi using the Tools->Migration menu option.
You'll need the keximdb driver which isn't distributed as part of kexi itself, but may be packaged for your distro.
See http://www.kexi-project.org/wiki/wiki/?MDBDriver
for more info, or get the source from

1. open kexi
2. blank project, click ok
3. select new project stored in file, then click create (shouldnt that be greyed out at this stage?).
4. it then crashes.
It works ok using next. So maybe grey out create early on.

It's all not about complete replace an app by another, what is impossible for many MS-technology-hostages. It's all about a choice, more choice, better choice...
