KDE Knoda Meets MS-Access in New Release

Posted by timothy on from the chipping-away dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Horst Knorr released a new test version of Knoda. With this release Knoda is the first KDE database frontend reading MS Access databases natively and is getting closer to its goal to be a full replacement for MS Access. Knoda is a database-frontend for KDE. Besides tables and queries Knoda comprises forms and reports, which are scriptable via Python."

    "getting closer to its goal to be a full replacement for MS Access."

    Hmmm. A little late on the draw. Somebody is finally getting close enough to replace MS-Access, that has been around for a long time, and that Microsoft appears to be shifting the focus away from. Nice afterthought indeed.

    Microsoft's latest SQL Server Express offering is the focus.

    Knoda seems novel, but why not stack some reporting software on MySql or something similar?
