kexi__parts table is created by kexicore library, not KexiDB. Kexicore is not 
public library so other apps that only use kexidb will not create kexi__parts 
table (because they will not use so calles kexi parts as well (plugins)). SO 
my statement about importing the app is still valid... unless more kexi 
features will be provided for external apps (or "linking" to external data 
source is implemented).
