Alternative to LibreOffice Base for Ubuntu

Solution 1:

Try Kexi.

Kexi is an open source visual database creator, a long-awaited competitor for programs like MS Access or Filemaker.

It is part of the Calligra Suite (but can be used completely independently).

To install from the software center:

Kexi

From the command line:

• Press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal.

• When it opens, run the following command:

   sudo apt-get install kexi
  

For more information, or to download Kexi, see the Kexi website

Solution 2:

You can try Glom. It's a complete database system like FileMaker Pro (or Access).

With Glom you can design table definitions and the relationships between them, plus arrange the fields on the screen. You can edit and search the data in those tables, and specify field values in terms of other fields. It's as easy as it should be. The design is loosely based on FileMaker Pro, with the added advantage of separation between interface and data. Its simple framework should be enough to implement most database applications. Without Glom these systems normally consist of lots of repetitive, unmaintainable code.

To install from the software center:

Glom

From the command line:

• Press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal.

• When it opens, run the following command:

   sudo apt-get install glom
