I would like to thank all those who has responded to my initial email
about a possible error on exiting from gnucash while using XML
My next question has anybody been able to verify my observed problem?
As I said it is an interesting problem to me at least. As it happens I
have found the same issue in Linux(Ubantu).
Last Friday I was talking to a colleague about this issue of how I found
a possible issue with the closing of gnucash while using XML.
We wondered if it would evolve into why are we using XML and not like
the rest of the world that use SQLite. How old fashion can we be?
Unlike the vast majority of folks that have replied with it seems with
the possible exception John Layman - I make mistakes.
I also share John's thoughts on RDBMS and XML. For the size of my
database XML is just fine.
I think the first course on RDBMS I did was some 30 years ago. Since
then my field experience with customers that ran RDBMS.
Some did snapshots others didn't Most of them had no idea how to restore
if they had a problem. I think I would still be correct.
This is like Apple approach to fixing a problem - bring out a new model
and dazzle everyone. Then the problem will go away.
I don't really care if the issue is fixed, I really don't. It would seem
that there is this product called gnucash that has a problem if you use XML.
My last question if this is known and everybody uses SQLite then why
don't change the documentation as to reflect the problem and then on
release 5 remove the support for XML?
As I said that's the Apple solution.
Lastly I also think that the folks that are developing gnuscah do a
wonderful job and thank them whole heartedly.
