10:44:17 <mchoud> hi all
10:44:30 <mchoud> i am a beginner of gnucash
10:45:02 <mchoud> what is the database which is used by the gnucash
10:45:18 <warlord> gnucash doesn't use a database.
10:47:09 <mchoud> so what kind of data saving ?
10:47:53 <warlord> into the data file.
10:48:07 <warlord> mchoud: Please don't PM without permission. It's considered rude.
10:48:36 <mchoud> ok, i am sorry this is the first time for me in mirc
10:48:37 <warlord> What exactly are you trying to find out?
10:49:47 <mchoud> is it possible to integrating my existing database with gnucash
10:49:53 <warlord> no
10:50:16 <warlord> gnucash doesn't use a database.
10:50:29 <warlord> the datafile is XML.
10:51:11 <warlord> The next major release (2.4) will have DB support through DBI.. It should support SQLite, MySQL, and Postgres.
10:51:32 <mchoud> it sound good
10:51:46 <warlord> I dont expect 2.4 until at least mid-2009
10:51:53 <warlord> (at the earliest)
10:52:12 <warlord> Even then, you wont be able to share the database.
10:53:20 <mchoud> by using xml, is there any limitation about xml size
10:53:30 <warlord> No
10:53:48 <warlord> At least not a practical limit.
10:54:08 <warlord> I dont think gnucash could handle the finances of the US Government... But it's not designed for that.
10:55:10 <mchoud> i am from indonesia, and would like to try to utilising gnucash for our retail accounting tools
10:55:26 <mchoud> how do you think ?
10:57:43 <warlord> i think that the best way to do that would be to export data from your retail system and import it into gnucash...
10:58:40 <mchoud> is there any guide about to do that ?
10:58:53 <warlord> of course not.
11:02:06 <mchoud> so i have to exporting my database into xml format that known by gnucash ?
11:07:04 <warlord> No. I'd suggest QIF format.
11:07:21 <warlord> then use the QIF importer.
11:10:59 <mchoud> hi @warlord, thanks about your kind attention
11:11:10 <mchoud> by the may i know your email address ?
11:11:32 <warlord> Just email the gnucash lists.. I'll see it.
