Supported Database Backends
-At the moment this documentation is written, drivers for the following database engines are developed as integrated (single user) backends:
+ Kexi projects are usually stored in a file. This is convenient for
+ databases that are only used by a single person.
+
+
+ However, for some projects, users may prefer to store their data on
+ a remote database server. This allows several users to use the same
+ database. Currently, changes to the database structure should only
+ be made by one user: concurrent modifications to the database
+ structure are not supported.
+
+
+Kexi supports the following database systems:
+
It is planned to support also other database systems, especially for FireBird/Interbase and ODBC interface, for better corporate usage in the next versions. Typically, most up to date and best supported backends (from KexiDB point of view) are always: SQLite, PostgreSQL and MySQL.
