16:40:41 <thomas> Hello. I would like to print 'Job Name' on invoices. I have made a custom invoice, but I can't find an interface to the data. Where do I look?
16:41:02 <thomas> I am on 2.2.6.

20:14:57 <bklang> Has anyone any experience using external tools with GNUcash and the SQL backend?
20:15:22 <bklang> Specifically I'm trying to use JasperReports to display invoices (which I have working)
20:15:49 <bklang> but I'm curious how stable the storage backend is intended to be from a programming perspective, and whether there are any rules or maxims to follow when accessing the data
20:17:45 <warlord> Thou shalt not write to the database from outside GnuCash.
20:17:59 <warlord> Beyond that, you're welcome to read anything you want out of it.
20:19:48 <bklang> heh, ok
20:20:22 *** cortana has quit IRC
20:20:42 <jsled> I've have to guess that on the 8th (9th?) release of the unstable series, the schema changes should be basically nonexistant.
20:20:47 <bklang> Ultimately I'd like to tie new order entries from external systems into GNUcash by inserting data. Are there any plans to allow for any kind of external access (whether direct to SQL or via some library) to enable that kind of feature?
20:23:32 <warlord> No. You have to use the GnuCash API to insert data.
20:23:46 <bklang> C API you mean?
20:23:51 *** blizgerg has joined #gnucash
20:23:54 <jsled> so, "yes", via a C api. :)
20:23:57 <warlord> C, Scheme, or Python
20:24:01 <bklang> ok
20:24:14 <bklang> perhaps a web service then wrapped around that would work for my purposes
20:24:20 <jsled> that'd be even better.
20:24:25 <jsled> contributions welcome.
20:24:47 <bklang> is the SQL backend designed to be used by multiple frontends simultaneously?
20:24:51 <bklang> or is it simply another storage mechanism
20:25:08 <jsled> in the long long ago there was an xml-rpc api, but it was way pre "Web Services", and tied to Other Plans, and died a long time ago.
20:25:12 <jsled> it's just a dumb store.
20:25:24 <warlord> No, currently it's not multi-user
20:25:27 <jsled> there is no support for simultaneous front-ends.
20:25:32 <bklang> ok
20:25:58 <bklang> is the Python API documented anywhere publicly?
20:26:05 <warlord> the source tree
20:26:27 <bklang> alright, I'll take a look. Thanks for the pointers
20:26:46 <warlord> np
20:48:14 <bklang> Is the person who contributes the OS X build of GnuCash unstable in this channel?
