More accurately
(sql server) || <- - - - - -> || (sql-client-lib <-> gnc_engine <-> ui)
at some point or another, gnc-engine must convert whatever its doing
to plain-old SQL statements. The standard sql client side libraries
just send these to the server via unix-dmoain sockets or tcp sockets.
If its tcp sockets, you don't 'care' wheere the sql server is. Think
of it like using Xlib & getting xwindows network transparency
'automaticaly', with no extra work for the app writer. Same idea.
