I've been using GnuCash for several years now, and almost right from the start I made the decision to use MySQL as the database engine. Other that forgetting to start MySQL first now and then, it's working fine, and the ability to easily schedule automated backups is nice.
I am assuming that the program gains some optimization by using a professional RDBMS as its data engine. But is it? I know that XML is the native data storage type for GnuCash, but that's really just a text file format without any back end optimization. My question is: With an ever-increasing data load, am I correct in assuming that performance is going to take in increasingly large hit over MySQL? Would there be any reason at all to move back to XML over MySQL? Thanks! -- Tom Thomas L.
