Re: using a separate, standalone database for gnucash, instead of one
which works transparently via the filesystem somehow.
As I got out in the Free Software world, telling people about how
great gnucash is, I still have people asking me how their data is
stored, and asking if they can edit the files by hand. Just last week
someone said, "Well, I guess it is okay if there is a way I can export
to text, and import elsewhere. I just _hate_ it when someone thinks
they can hold _my data_ hostage."
