Well at moment just exist one working: "the file", the other (The PostgreSQL) backend I think is unmaintaned or out sync with the lastest 2.0 series. > > > 3.

GDA is in Beta stage, and most messages you see is becouse some sync operations with the database server and the GdaDict are a "missing operation", I mean: it tries to see at constrains in the DB or other kind, witch the actual Server Provider doesn't implement jet in the GDA's Server Provider API (this not mean that the Server doesn't have constrains, is just the GDA "backend" implementation doesn't have it jet and need be added) -- Trabajar, la mejor arma para tu superación "de grano en grano, se hace la arena" (R) (entrámite, pero para los cuates: LIBRE) _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
