In reviewing the documentation after not using GnuCash for many years, I
found that the FAQ on the use of a SQL backend was outdated, going back
to 2.4, which I think was nearly 15 years ago. Before another of the
newer members jumps in with a knee-jerk reaction, you can find that I
contributed to the project back in the IHTFP days. While there have been
changes to that page over the years, it looks like the last substantive
ones mentioning SQL were back in 2011.
Much of the core has been rewritten out of Scheme since then, there has
been over a decade of work, the wiki shows use of SQL at
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GnuCash_SQL_Examples, and there is a lock
table described at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/SQL. These all suggest
that there have been meaningful changes in the SQL backend since
"Multiple Computers, Users, ..." and "SQL Database" were updated in the
FAQ. As a result, I would like to know what the current status of the
SQL backend is, including robustness and sufficiency of locking is at
this time.
I would have searched the mailing list archives, but "Yes, you can
search the mail list archives at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.devel and
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.user (and
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.german if you speak
German)." is also outdated. From what I can tell, news.gmane.org does
not have active DNS. Is there a replacement index available?
Thanks,
Jeff
