Hi Ben,
If you use file databases (SQLite-based), all properties of SQLite
applies to Kexi, i.e. please read e.g.
http://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html

If you decide to use MySQL, PostgreSQL (or in the future -- 2.x --
series: MS SQL Server,  Oracle, Sybase, etc.), please refer to the
respective database's documentation on its capatibilities. Kexi
inherits these (main) capatibilities from the databases, although its
strategy is to strip down the features to a subset (although the
application can be extended for specialized use by developers).
