Kexi como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Office Access
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Kexi is a reasonable replacement for Microsoft Access if you're working on Linux and need a desktop database tool for small projects. It handles visual database design, forms, queries, and reports well, making it suitable for individuals or small teams managing local data. While it lacks native .accdb support and some advanced automation features, its integration with SQLite and PostgreSQL offers solid performance for single-user scenarios. It's ideal for users who don't rely heavily on Access-specific workflows or VBA macros and are comfortable with open-source tools.

Abrir tus archivos de Microsoft Office Access
Kexi cannot directly open .accdb or .mdb files. You must first export data from Access to a supported format like CSV or use an intermediary database. Once exported, Kexi can import CSV or connect to databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL where data has been migrated. Native support is limited to SQLite, PostgreSQL, and older MySQL connections via ODBC, so direct file conversion isn't possible without external tools.

Cómo instalar Kexi en Linux
sudo apt install kexisudo apt install kexisudo dnf install kexiPreguntas frecuentes
Can Kexi replace Access for a small business using Windows?
Only if you're switching to Linux. Kexi runs on Windows but is less polished there; it's best on Linux. If staying on Windows, Access is still more reliable.
Does Kexi support multi-user access like Access with shared databases?
Yes, but indirectly. Use PostgreSQL as the backend for concurrent access. SQLite, the default, works best for single users.
Can I automate tasks in Kexi like with Access macros?
Kexi supports scripting in Python and JavaScript, but not VBA. You’ll need to rewrite automation logic using these languages.
