It is not a mis-use of the field to have longer codes. I agree, 32 is too long. What exactly is the use-case for using codes as a primary key? Keep in mind that the SQL Backend data store is just that, a data store. GnuCash does NOT use database constraints, and for Accounts it doesn't even need to use an Index, because GnuCash does (should!) load in all the accounts at start time. So... All searches on accounts are done in core in the gnucash app without looking at the DB backend. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
