Kexi, alternative Linux à Microsoft Access
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Kexi can replace Microsoft Access for many small‑to‑medium desktop database projects that rely on visual design, forms, reports, and basic scripting. It is best suited for users who prefer a free, open‑source solution and who are comfortable with KDE tools. However, it lacks some of Access’s advanced features such as built‑in VBA, tight integration with other Microsoft Office products, and the same level of support for complex enterprise workflows. For hobbyists, students, or small businesses that need a cross‑platform, scriptable database, Kexi is a solid choice.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Microsoft Access
Kexi does not natively open Microsoft Access (.mdb/.accdb) files. Users must export data from Access to a format such as CSV or use an ODBC bridge to read the database, then import into Kexi. Exporting from Kexi to Access is also not supported; data must be exported to a common format and then imported into Access if needed.
Passer de Microsoft Access à Kexi, étape par étape
- Export Access tables to CSV or use an ODBC export to SQLite/PostgreSQL.
- Create a new Kexi project and import the CSV files into corresponding tables.
- Rebuild forms and reports in Kexi using its visual designer.
- Recreate queries and scripts, translating VBA logic to Python or JavaScript.
- Test data integrity and application logic before decommissioning Access.

Installer Kexi sous Linux
sudo apt install kexisudo apt install kexisudo dnf install kexiQuestions fréquentes
Does Kexi support VBA macros from Access?
No, Kexi uses Python or JavaScript for scripting. VBA code must be rewritten in one of these languages.
Can I run Kexi on Windows?
Yes, Kexi is cross‑platform and available for Windows, but it is primarily developed for Linux.
Is Kexi suitable for large enterprise databases?
Kexi is best for small to medium projects. For large enterprise deployments, a dedicated server‑based DBMS like PostgreSQL or MySQL with a separate front‑end is recommended.
