.kexic files belong to Kexi, the free database application developed by the KDE community. Kexi is available for Linux and Microsoft Windows, and versions have also been available for Mac OS X.
A .kexic file contains connection settings for a server hosting a Kexi database. It is a settings file rather than the database itself, and Kexi uses it when establishing the corresponding connection.
Open a .kexic file with Kexi on Microsoft Windows or another supported platform. Start Kexi and use its database connection workflow to load the file or select the connection it describes.
The file is intended for Kexi rather than for general-purpose document applications.
A .kexic file is a connection-settings file and normally has no useful standalone conversion format. To move the connection to another installation, recreate its settings in Kexi or copy the file if the same connection is supported.
To convert the database itself, open it in Kexi and use the application's database export or migration features; converting the .kexic file does not convert the database.
