Hi, depends on the case, so you would have to provide examples.
Sometimes scripting would be needed.

DB relationsips are not yet supported. Only some (inner)  joins within
queries are.

db2 unsupported,
native oracle driver is available in Kexi 2.0 (which is unstable now).

Only kexi and "koffice libs" packages are required. Also kexi drivers
are optional.
Some distributions do not split features well enough (in our opinion)
but we are trying to address this if possible.
For sure, if this is your request, Kexi can be used independently of
other applications like KSpread or KWord.


PS: I recommend registering at

to share knowledge.

Kexi does not support MSAccess-style macros yet, just scripts.
Scripts could require fixing when major stable Kexi version 2 appears.

We try to maintain compatibility but for this we need to design public
programming interfaces carefully what is costly - takes time.
