Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

I am a complete newbie at database concepts, but the 
introductory sql tutorials I found on the net did not address
my needs adequately for the type of database application needed for our office. Eventually, I found out that the type of problem I was trying to solve was called a "many-to-many" relationship problem in database geek speek.

Anyhow, I found a recent paper discussing the "many-to-many"
database design problem (and various variations thereof) and solutions using SSAS software:
http://www.sqlbi.eu/Portals/0/Downloads/M2M Revolution 1.0.93.pdf

While one can use the principles discussed in the above paper to design one's database tables by hand (which is what I've done), it would be nice if Kexi would keep open the possibility of implementing something similar with its GUI database design tools in the future.

THANKS.

Kexi is indeed well suited for such extensions. Please vote for this wish. Thanks for the feedback.
