[kde-announce] hk_classes & knoda 0.7.4-test1 released - knoda meets MS-Access

Hi,

I 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.


The main new features are:

* A driver for MS Access based on Mdbtools (http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net)
  Due to technical restrictions of Mdbtools, the mdb driver is read-only. It 
  is strongly recommended to use the latest CVS version of Mdbtools. 

* A driver for dbase compatible databases  based on xbase 
     (http://linux.techass.com/projects/xdb/)

* A dialog box to exchange your data between the database backends. (See the 
  menu entries  'Export' and 'Import' in the 'File' menu). It is easily 
  possible to copy your data e.g. from Mysql to Postgres and vice versa.

To use the xbase driver install the original Dbase/Xbase library first, and 
then the XBSQL library at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=239... .
This version of the XBSQL package is compatible to other versions, I just 
added some bugfixes and support for the boolean field type.

Please send bugreports, feature requests or comments as usual to
bugreport@knoda.org or to the mailing list
hk-classes-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net


Regards

Horst
