All applications include a frontend and a backend.

Wathever you call them, they procees as such.

the frontend and the backend, do not need to be linked
together to consist of ONE Application.

Many windows applications includes many dll
and are called monolythic apps.

Are you referrign to an application with one EXEcutable
and a thousand unknown references?

Or an application using many known references ?

Or wathever it is ??

Kexi with Sqlite, is the monolythic way,
Kexi with Mysql, is the distributed way

Choose the one you need, and let us use the other,
if I or someone else think the other way is the better.

Anyway, you end up with a monolithic app, with many options.

And the user wont care of the way, if it is useable, simple, and clean.

Philosophy is'nt debatable, and this thread is deriving this way.

Truly yours.
