dear list

i'm happy to announce a new part in koffice family. as you maybe already have 
noticed a subdir named "kexi" appeared in koffice root.
kexi is a database management tool providing comfortable things like a 
querydesigner and a relationdesigner. due the port to KoFramework not all of 
the features work, we hope that we will get those working again and can start 
with implementing new features. Currently only MDI is supported. To see 
screenshots of working kexi take a look at http://luci.bux.at/projects/kexi 
(a bit outdated)
kexi brings it's own SQL library (KexiDB). With KexiDB you should be able to 
preform nearly all tasks without writing manual SQL statements. using a 
plugin based backend concept, you can use Kexi as a frontend for an arbitrary 
database. However, currently there is only a backend for mySQL. For people 
that dislike running database server, we plan on embedding an additional 
backend that will be shipped with kexi for the highquality file-engine CQL++ 
(www.cql.com) which allows embedding databases into the 
projectfile and enable easy document exchange.
