Kexi is a visual database applications creator tool by KDE, designed to fill the gap between spreadsheets and database solutions requiring more sophisticated development. Kexi can be used for designing and implementing databases, data inserting and processing, and performing queries.
The impetus for developing Kexi came from a noticeable lack of applications having the features of Microsoft Access, FoxPro, Oracle Forms or FileMaker while at the same time being powerful, inexpensive, open-standards-driven and sufficiently portable.
Kexi is a member of Calligra Suite. It works under Linux/Unix and Solaris operating systems. Versions for Mac OS X (using Homebrew) and the Microsoft Windows (using KDE on Windows) are in development.
Kexi application and libraries is available under the LGPL. User and developer documentation is available under the GFDL.
Kexi development began in early 2003 with large contributions coming until 2008 from OpenOffice Polska (currently OpenOffice Software).
Although Kexi was a KOffice project since the beginning, the first release was independent of KOffice. The first public beta release of Kexi was version 0.1 beta 2 on January 22, 2004. The first stable release was 0.9 – made available on May 31, 2005. A Kexi version with a lower version number – 0.8 – was shipped afterward with KOffice 1.4 on June 21, 2005. Further stable versions of Kexi were released with KOffice 1.5 and 1.6 in 2006.
