Is Kexi 'Free'?

[brentoboy]

you know, you can download the MS compiler free of charge (you have to
give them your email address.)



it is just an IDE and compiler though, it doenst have all the extra
LIBs that come with the "real" version of visual studio.  --it works
great, I use it to compile wxWidgets apps for windows.

if you are doing database work, you might consider sqlite.  the db
files are unix/windows intercompatible (things like big idian / little
idian issues are taken care of by the db)



if all you want is the database, sqlitecc will let you run queries
against it.  the db is all self contained in one file (like access).



the only downfall is that if you want to build an app around it, you
will need to do some actual coding (it isnt a database "evironment"
like access)

sqlite is free as in total freedom (not even gpl copy lefted -- free as
in freeBSD)
