I am quite ignorant about databases in general and almost totally ignorant about kexi, which does look as if it might do what I want, which is to calculate simple results (rainfall totals, etc) from the database. The actual sdb file is hidden in the server; but I can email you a short instance. I am quite familiar with software development; I worked on embedded systems of varying levels of complexity for about 20 years.

Kexi as available on my system (Fedora-19) won't import the database. On attempting to import it, kexi reports:

Code: Select all

Could not import database "/home/jonrysh/src/wview/archive/wview-archive.sdb". This type is not supported.

So it appears that the sqlite module for kexi is not included in the Fedora-19 distribution. How can I verify this? Are there any .so files whose presence or absence would indicate whether the sqlite driver is present?

The development page for this module, https://community.kde.org/Kexi/KexiDB/K ... ers/SQLite

is a little vague about what to do. I assume it gives build instructions for a source package, for my system this would most likely be calligra-2.7.4-1.fc19.src.rpm.

Is this correct? The instructions appear to be targeted towards building under Debian Linux. The RPM spec file has a quite different format. Do you have any hints about how to proceed?

Thanks for your help, and please excuse the length of this message.
