Database Support Library (KexiDB)

• Properly handle lookup fields when there are more than one per table

Import & Export

• CSV Import
  • By default missing CSV values are imported as empty texts. Now user can choose to import missing texts as empty text values (current default configuration) or as NULLs (previous behavior) to destination table. There was a lot of confusion when SQL queries with condition columnName = did not show any results for imported data.
    • Bug #317509
  • Add support for appending CSV data to an existing table
    • Bug #305505
