What KEXI is

KEXI is a visual database application builder for organizing and editing data and creating forms and reports. Its table and query designers let users work visually, and it also includes an SQL editor, interactive forms, and a report designer. SQLite is the default database; KEXI also directly supports MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. An import assistant brings in data from Microsoft Access, and tools move data between KEXI files and MySQL or PostgreSQL databases. For CSV work, users can set delimiters, headers, and data types when importing files or clipboard contents, then export to CSV or clipboard. Locked-Down User Mode disables design tools for users without special permissions, helping protect database structures and reports from changes. KEXI is free and open source under LGPL version 2, and the maker says projects made with it remain the user's property. The maker also says it works without registration or an internet connection and does not access or transmit user data. It is listed for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows, with desktop deployment. Minimum requirements include Windows 8.1 or later or Linux, a 64-bit processor, and 1 GB RAM.
