Hi Gere,
The back-end is simply "sqlite". If you can get that installed, then
you can open the gnucash.sqlite files directly and poke around in them.
The flat structure is pretty simple, does not rely heavily on RDBMS.
Here is one reference in the gnucash docs;
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/SQL
Additionally, I have some notes and references on the back-end regarding
structures and things as well, if you're interested, as I too am
building external apps to poke around in the gnucash.

Hi all,
I've been using Gnucash for some good years now and noticed that it saves
its data in .gnucash files, which are gzip compressed XML data. Recently,
wanted to automate some tasks I see that many apps have been written to
leverage Gnucash, by using its database back-ends! (for example [Gnucash
Rest](https://github.com/loftx/gnucash-rest/blob/master/README.md), and
many others). How can I install/ make use of such a back-end for the app? I
am nowhere seeing this option on the Gnucash pages.
Many thanks,
Zsolt
