<div> Hello<br>
<br>
1. I am using Kexi Version 3.1.0 in Ubuntu 19.04. <br>
<br>
2. I have very basic needs, such as the need to be able to
add another column without erasing all my data, and the
need to increase the number of characters allowed in a
cell, without that change erasing all my data. As I
understand, these things cannot be done in Version 3.1.0.<br>

Right. First step is to upgrade to 3.2. </div>

There is no point in me upgrading to the laterst version, if that
version doesn't have the feature of allowing me to add columns or
increase the number of allowed characters in a cell without erasing
the data.<br>

4. Otherwise, I would like to export my data from Kexi and
migrate over to MS Access. I have been using Kexi for
many, many years-- but these basic limitations have made
my work impossible.</div>

am sorry about that. The forum thread explains a bit the

more contributors on board.</div>

5. I do not see any option in Kexi to export my data to
say csv. This is an import option, but I do not see an
export option. Where is the option to export my data?<br>

can export each table by right-clicking and exporting to a

<br>
This does not work. Any time I right click and select to export to a
file, kexi crashes and shuts down. I have seen this same problem
reported by several other users in the Ubuntu forums.<br>

these are SQLite tables, users can also run apps like

I am not a techy to start learning how to use apps like
sqlitebrowser.<br>
<br>
I need to get my data out of kexi, and from what I am hearing from
you thus far it sounds, unfortunately, like my data is trapped in
kexi and unable to get out. Please provide me a simple solution that
works to export my data from Kexi. This is urgently needed.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
