--- Comment #13 from Jarosław Staniek <staniek at kde.org> ---
A word from maintainer. SQLite is the most used db engine in the world and we
do support it since 2004. At the time it was not easy/possible to work without
metadata, now it is doable at least for people that know what they are doing,
e.g. those that have existing database files and need to work with them without
creating new ones.

Importing will be always "catching the rabbit" challenge, therefore there is a
mid-term ultimate plan: wish #380088 "Support opening native databases without
importing" for Kexi 4.

Especially importing within the same engine often seems to be overhead and can
frustrate users. Our aim is perfect convenience not exiting e.g. in the world
or spreadsheets.

Extra: C++ developers would get a tool for working with existing databases via
the KDb framework (https://community.kde.org/KDb) which is the pillar of Kexi.
