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. == History == Kexi development began in early 2003 with large contributions coming until 2008 from OpenOffice Polska〔http://kde.org/support/thanks.php ((archived version) )〕 (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 . The first stable release was 0.9 – made available on .〔 A Kexi version with a lower version number – 0.8 – was shipped afterward with KOffice 1.4 on .〔 Further stable versions of Kexi were released with KOffice 1.5 and 1.6 in 2006. From 2004 until 2007 OpenOffice Polska made commercial Kexi releases using release years as version numbers. The first release was ''Kexi 2004 LT'' on based on Kexi 0.1. The commercial releases concluded with ''Kexi 2007.1'' in March 2007 based on Kexi 1.1.2/1.1.3.〔 The porting process to KDE Platform 4 took rather long and was finished with the release of KOffice 2.2 in May 2010. Among its new features was a new Report Designer plug-in to replace the KOffice 1.6 stand-alone reporting application Kugar. Kexi 2.3 was released with KOffice 2.3 on with – among other features – a reworked Project Navigator pane. After the KOffice 2.3 release, Kexi moved into Calligra Suite and both were released as version 2.4 on . The most user-visible change was a redone main user interface dubbed Modern Menu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kexi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
