NAME

       Kexi - Database creation for everyone

SYNOPSIS

       kexi [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [project-name]

DESCRIPTION

       Kexi  is  an  integrated data management application. It can be used for creating database schemas, inserting data, performing queries, and
       processing data. Forms can be created to provide a custom interface to your data. All database objects - tables, queries and  forms  -  are
       stored in the database, making it easy to share data and design.

OPTIONS

       Generic options:

       --help Show help about options

       --help-qt
	      Show Qt specific options

       --help-kde
	      Show KDE specific options

       --help-all
	      Show all options

       --author
	      Show author information

       -v, --version
	      Show version information

       --license
	      Show license information

       Options related to entire projects:

       --createdb
	      Create a new, blank project using specified database driver and database name and exit immediately.  You will be asked for confirma-
	      tion if overwriting is needed.

       --create-opendb
	      Like --createdb, but also open newly created database.

       --dropdb
	      Drop (remove) a project using specified database driver and database name.  You will be asked for confirmation.

       --drv,--dbdriver <name>
	      Database driver to be used for connecting to a database project (SQLite by default).  Ignored if a shortcut filename is provided.

       -t,--type <name>
	      Specify the type of file provided as an argument.  This option is only useful if the filename does not have a  valid  extension  set
	      and  its	type  cannot  be determined unambiguously by examining its contents.  This option is ignored if no file is specified as an
	      argument.  Available file types are: - "project" for a project file (the default) - "shortcut" for a shortcut  file  pointing  to  a
	      project.	- "connection" for database connection data.

       --conn,--connection <shortcut_filename>
	      Specify  a  database connection shortcut .kexic file containing connection data.	Can be used with --createdb or --create-opendb for
	      convenience instead of using options like --user, --host or --port.  Note: Options like --user, --host have precedence over settings
	      defined in the shortcut file.

       --readonly
	      Specify  that  any  database  connections  will be performed without write support. This option is ignored when "createdb" option is
	      present, otherwise the database could not be created.

       --user-mode
	      Start project in User Mode, regardless of the project settings.

       --design-mode
	      Start project in Design Mode, regardless of the project settings.

       --show-navigator
	      Show the Project Navigator side pane even if Kexi runs in User Mode.

       --hide-menu
	      Hide the main menu (the tabbed toolbar) completely. A number of commands from the main menu is always visible. This option is useful
	      in User Mode.

       --skip-startup-dialog
	      Skip displaying startup dialog window.  If there is no project name specified to open, an empty application window will appear.

       Options related to opening objects within a project:

       --open [<object_type>:]<object_name>
	      Open object of type 'object_type' and name 'object_name' from specified project on application start.  'object_type' is optional, if
	      omitted - table type is assumed.	Other object types can be query, report, form, script (may be more  or	less,  depending  on  your
	      plugins installed).  Use "" chars to specify names containing spaces.  Examples: --open MyTable, --open query:"My very big query"

       --design [<object_type>:]<object_name>
	      Like --open, but the object will be opened in Design Mode, if one is available.

       --edittext [<object_type>:]<object_name>
	      Like --open, but the object will be opened in Text Mode, if one is available.

       --exec, --execute [<object_type>:]<object_name>
	      Start  execution of object of type 'object_type' and name 'object_name' on application start.  'object_type' is optional, if omitted
	      - macro type is assumed.	Other object types can be script (may be more or less, depending on your plugins installed).  Use "" chars
	      to specify names containing spaces.

       --new <object_type>
	      Start new object design of type 'object_type'.

       Options related to database servers:

       -u,--user <name>
	      User name to be used for connecting to a database project.  Ignored if a shortcut filename is provided.

       -h,--host <name>
	      Server (host) name to be used for connecting to a database project.  Ignored if a shortcut filename is provided.

       --port <number>
	      Server's port number to be used for connecting to a database project.  Ignored if a shortcut filename is provided.

       --local-socket <filename> Server's local socket filename
	      to be used for connecting to a database project. Ignored if a shortcut filename is provided.

       --skip-conn-dialog
	      Skip displaying connection dialog window and connect directly. Available when opening .kexic or .kexis shortcut files.

       Arguments:

       project-name   Kexi database project filename, Kexi shortcut filename or name of a Kexi database project on a server to open.
