Understøttede filformater

Kommaadskilte værdier (CVS)

Kexi kan importere og eksportere data fra og til en række forskellige formater med kommaseparerede værdier (CVS-filer). De fleste regnearks- og databaseprogrammer kan importere i dette format, hvilket gør dette til et passende format til at overføre data i form af tekst imellem forskellige programmer.

Kexi understøtter også et antal tilvalg, som kan indstilles før importeringen udføres:

  • datatype for hver kolonne,
  • andre feltadskillere, så som tabulatortegn
  • andre anførselstegn for tekst
  • givne antal felter kan springes over, hvis det er nødvendigt,
  • gentagne adskillere kan springes over,
  • værdier fra den første række kan bruges til at sætte kolonnenavne,
  • tekstindkodning (UTF_8 er standard),
  • datoformat (defineret af operativsystemet som standard)
  • fjernelse af blanktegn i begyndelsen og slutningen af tekstværdier

On importing Kexi shows preview of imported data. Most suitable set of options is auto-detected by Kexi based on provided CSV file.


Microsoft Access (MDB) file format

Overview

Support for importing Microsoft Access databases (2003 or older) is built into Kexi. Access databases can be imported into a Kexi database only. It cannot be used to edit the database, nor to export to an Access database. However, it should also be able to import databases created by other applications that use the JET database engine. Importing .accdb databases introduced in MS Access 2007 are not currently supported.

To import a database:

  1. In Kexi menu select Import, Export or Send.. command.
  2. Click Import Database button.
  3. Use the import wizard by selecting desired .mdb file.


Capabilities

The import function has successfully been used to import Northwind database well known to MS Access users. Many other Access template databases can be also imported.
