What is a .kexi file?

The Kexi file format is primarily used by Kexi, which is a visually oriented database creator and a core application within the Calligra Suite and KDE environment. Kexi is frequently positioned as an open-source alternative to Microsoft Access, FileMaker, and Microsoft Excel's data management features. A .kexi file typically stores relational database structures, including tables, queries, forms, reports, and sometimes the underlying data itself, depending on whether it is configured as a file-based database or a shortcut to a database server like PostgreSQL or MySQL. It allows non-programmers and developers alike to design database applications, insert and edit data, and perform complex searches without needing advanced SQL knowledge. The format encapsulates the user interface designs along with the data schema, making it easy to share self-contained database applications across different systems where Kexi is installed.
