Kexi

Rapid Application Development

KEXI is a visual database applications creator. 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.

Возможности

• Full visual designers for tables, queries, forms and reports
• Running queries, support for parametrized queries
• Supports SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server databases
• The only multiplatform graphical tool importing data from MS Access databases
• Supports query design in dedicated SQL view
• Designing and displaying relational data using combo boxes (lookup columns)
• Direct data entry or import using CSV format
• Locked down User Mode, allowing you to switch off all commands related to editing your project's design
• Scripting using JavaScript, Python or Ruby programming languages (experimental)
• Many more features
