Well, I have been trying to do this but it doesn't work.
I am using gnucash with sqlite on Linux.
The first problem is that one *always* gets the file lock issue if you
do this because the new database created by the export always has the
lock table in it. This isn't a big issue of course because you can
ignore the message or remove the lock table.
However the saved accounts database is somehow broken.
I have done the following:-
Start gnucash with "gnucash general.gnucash"
Select File->Export->Export Accounts
Set the data format to sqlite3
Save as 'newyear'
Quit from gnucash
Run "gnucash newyear.gnucash"
Click "Start anyway" when the lock file message pops up
I then get a pop-up window saying "An error occurred while
processing /home/chris/pcc/2020/newyear.gnucash"
So how do I get this to work?
