Problem: Embedding Kexi Components in KOffice Apps (as KoParts) (3)

• Cons:

  • This can extremely increase document size
  • No client-server/multiuser advantages: data will not be "live" anymore nor editable (unless replication feature is implemented)
  • Problems with data updates when database schema or related data has been changed in the meantime

• Conclusion:

  • Embedding a rich, custom content (like KParts or MS OLE interface) within exchangeable document formats could be a design flaw, inherited from MS formats
