Yes, that was a mistake. But c'mon Gordon, you know you don't need to point out those basic facts to me. I stretch sed to its limits on a regular basis. So: it's for a non-technical, naive user, who has been maintaining a c500-row library catalogue in a spreadsheet, and screwing it up in mind-boggling ways, over and over. User education has repeatedly failed. I need a no-brainer RAD GUI one-record-at-a-time CRUD app with a single table and export to CSV, or preferably, something that JFW with a single CSV file. We need to keep the data as either CSV or a common spreadsheet format for interchange with other users with absolutely unknown systems, who will usually need read-only access. One form, one report, one table, one file, no indexes. Oh, and no budget. -- Phil Hudson http://hudson-it.no-ip.biz @UWascalWabbit PGP/GnuPG ID: 0x887DCA63
I have just had a look at the latest version of Kexi 2.6.3. I must say it has much improved since the last time I checked. For a flat file database it should be fine. I have had a little play and so far so very good. The improvement in amazing.
I have not checked for calculated fields yet, but that will not concern you I think. I think you need a fairly new version of Linux to find it in the repositories. I am running it in Xubuntu 13.04 in VBox and it was there to be installed. Otherwise there is a ppa about somewhere.
