I hope I got the right listing for this... Anyway, after seeing that GNUCash has been released on Google Play, I got to playing around with GNUCash on my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop. It was stated that Android doesn't yet support MySQL, but I'm not sure I understood what he meant by that are there are RDBMS clients and applications that can upload MySQL data such as QuickNote, available on Google Play.
I had to get the 2.4 version from getdeb.net as the version that comes with Ubuntu 10.04 is 2.2 or something like that. Either way, the older version of GNUCash I had did not support MySQL for data reading/writing. After a few rounds getting it work, and fussing with MySQL, I realized that I was making the errors, and needed to fix myself. So I did. I read some of the lists and from the wiki that folks want to have cross platform access to GNUCash. There are a number of ways, none of which seemed to me, as I know nothing compared to some of you, that there was already something in place that will work for most, if not all. I have GNUCash for both Windoz XP Pro, and Ubuntu. I'm able to build MySQL database tables with each GNUCash program, if the tables did not already exist. The caveat is that I'm able to access the same tables for both reading and writing with either operating system platform. No errors have been discovered....yet, and as long as I exit out of GNUCash on one machine before going to another, GNUCash doesn't have any issues. So, what I'd like to do is this. I have setup a small oscommerce and MySQL database webserver that I would like some of the developers to reply to me direct who is interested, and I will provide access details. I'm looking for your feed back as to how well it performs for you over a internet connection that goes out of my city, state, and possibly country. Should this be successful, I'm looking to market this on the gnucash.org website to users of GNUCash and other database users who only need one or a small amount of hosted databases for a small amount of cash each year. Of course, financial donations will be made to gnucash.org to show my appreciation as I know nothing of coding. ~Benjamin Naber 678-828-4011 ext 200 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
