Some questions about how commodities are handled. 1) I create a new account with a currency as its commodity. There is a commit for the commodity (actually, there are 2 - once because of gnc_commodity_set_quote_flag and once because of gnc_commodity_set_quote_source - both called from xaccAccountSetCommodity - could they be combined?). I will need a unique key for the commodity, so I am using the guid. However, if I shut down and restart GC, the currencies are recreated in GC with different guids, so if I create another account with the same currency guid, that currency exists twice in the same db. I need to use the guid for any commodity other than currencies, because there is nothing else to tie the db entity to the GC entity. I notice that the XML backend doesn't store the guids for commodities, but stores namespace/mnemonic pairs. This won't work for the gda backend because as I said, there is no tie between the db entity and the GC entity.
Solutions: a) load the currencies on startup and have GC automatically create the ones which weren't in the db. 2) If I use the security editor to create a commodity, that commodity is committed OK. If I then remove the commodity, there is no commit to delete it. I imagine this works fine with the XML backend but it doesn't for the gda backend.
