I can keep a checkbook, but know really nothing of databases. Apparently I have to acquire a SQL database to run Gnucash? Can I keep it in the cloud, for access by 2 separate computers, or is it safe? I grew tired of Quickbooks, want to reach accounting program on Mac as well as Windows (Sierra/Win 10) -- and importantly, access and edit lists. The Gnucash manual indicates early on the need for one of three databases, and just leaves it at that. I can grasp the idea of a container for the data, but cannot imagine the linking up. I am also considering getting Filemaker, an older version. Is it possible to embed Gnucash customers and their financial status within Filemaker tables? By someone ignorant of coding? Does setting up and linking system require a STEM background, or is there a source for requisite basic DB understanding?
The most confusing thing, other than the database question, is how Accounts and Customers interact -- in QB customers ARE accounts. So are they a sort of sub-account in Gnucash?
