Slots represent extra information attached to gnucash objects. The idea is that a new or optional package can attach its own info to objects. When an object is loaded, the slots are in a directory/subdirectory-like structure.
Slots are optional, and in both the XML and SQL backends, if new information is stored in slots, there is no need to update table or object version numbers.

I have an idea what is the goal of most of the tables but I simply don't what's the use of slots table. I activated a log in mysql server just to understand which insertions are performed by gnucash in simple transactions and I've realized that every insertion involves the slots table. Can someone explain me what slots table does? If I don't want to consider sots table in my application will that cause a problem when working with the same database but using the program?
