Re: [Kexi] Kexi feedback

 1)  About once every year, I check to see if Kexi can use multi-field
 private keys.  I can not use Kexi until it can use multi-field private
 keys.

+1 from me. Composite primary keys are a must-have for any serious
database (application), absolutely required for data integrity. Just
like normalisation is.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang

Hello,
Yes, I remember this wish (I guess you mean primary keys, not private keys?).
Given the current 'budget' we have to prioritize tasks.

I encourage you (and everyone) to figure out what other features you'd
miss if the keys worked as you expect, it's helpful to know your
opinion early enough.

 2)  Another important wish is for the table displays to remember the
 size of fields.  I'm the only user of my databases, so I do not use
 forms or reports.  I do all data entry and viewing via the table view
 of quarries.  Having to resize the fields on every opening is
 prohibitively laborious.

It's nice to say that the feature has been added on September 1st :)

...so as a bonus user-level data storage appeared, future uses would
be numerous:
