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?

    No one in middle America will use it. It will be YET ANOTHER worthless replacement for MS products that no one will use and will eventually get scrubbed from sourceforge, just like every other OSS so far. OSS is a steaming pile of some of the shittiest code ever written by retarded monkeys. Way to reinvent the wheel, retards. Keep on forking! It's gonna kill OSS for good, you retarded zealots!
