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.

Features

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
Many more features
