Normally there are many free programs for the proprietary program par excellence, however the case of databases is somewhat rare since few databases, if not none, are capable of reaching the operation and benefits of Microsoft Access.
This is a problem for many since many business applications still use programs that are based on Access, not to mention the Administration that continues to use this type of software. Probably the most similar software is Kexi, A program which is part of the Calligra suite but which like other projects can be used individually and has even gained more popularity than the suite itself.
Kexi is currently in its second version and the development team has already announced the first alpha of version three. Like Microsoft Access, Kexi works with large databases, that is, MySql, PostgreSQL and SQLite. This makes Kexi have a good migration manager that allows us to pass databases created with Microsoft Access to Kexi or to the free format without any problem.
Kexi has one of the best tools to migrate Access databases
Kexi is also not written in java or .Net so the operation and resource management is higher than any other solution that exists, such as LibreOffice Base or Apache OpenOffice Base, both of which use java.
In order to install Kexi, either we install the Calligra suite or we install Kexi individually through the Ubuntu repositories or in the Ubuntu Software Center itself. The installation is easy and simple, it is found in the official repositories and it is more famous than the office suite to which it belongs.someone doubts the effectiveness of Kexi?
The truth is that doubting is always good and even more so when it comes to handling important data, so I invite you to try it at home, on your computers for free and then decide. Normally you don't lose anything and you gain a lot. Do not you think?
Look just that we were talking about Fernando Heredia
I did not understand well the comparison with LibreOffice. Could you better explain the differences that make it a more interesting option?
Good alternative, although, I do not see it viable where today there are many robust solutions and perhaps better in terms of performance and others in the world of BD. In the same way, its mass of users must have even more those who at one time used M $ Access at some time.
