That makes sense. I know with some versions of SQL, you can roll-back. I suspect that each of the three versions GNUCash supports does it differently, sigh. If I do use SQL, I'll treat it like my novel. Dated daily backups, and add good title and change log when I make major changes. Not that I ever regret major changes.
