Maybe integrating knoda (http://www.knoda.org) into KOffice would be more 
efficient than reviving Kdatabase. I've not tried Knoda but the screenshots 
look nice.

I remember reading an interview with the project manager of Excel and he gave 
this interesting information that when they did some user survey to see how 
people where using Excel it showed that a lot of people where using it to 
manage very simple database (list of persons with addresses, etc...) when the 
developpers were thinking that they should put more focus on the calculus and 
financial side of Excel. So, certainly a database component for KOffice 
should be, in my opinion, a very simple one to answer this need of simple, 
quick and dirty monofile database, and not yet another frontend to mysql.
Cheers,
Charles
