Re: [GNC] Brand new and lost...
Johnathon, A database is not necessary to use GnuCash. GnuCash has an XML text file, which may be compressed as an option, as its default storage. That file can be located in a cloud storage. I keep my data files in a dropbox account so that I can access them from several computers. Note however that this does not support concurrent access from multiple computers, only single access and that when one computer has the file open another computer can normally only open the file in read-only mode. This can be overridden, but in normal circumstances should not be, for the fairly obvious reason that you can end up not knowing which computer has the most up to date version of the file. Closing the files in the wrong order is likely to lead to a loss of data. The database backend is an optional extra for GnuCash. The database backends also currently don't support concurrent access from multiple computers although this is a future longer term objective. You can choose one of either SQLite3, PostGreSQL or MYSQL for the database backend. If you have limited database experience using the XML backend is probably the best choice. Backing up and maintaining databases requires some considerable investment in developing the necessary skill set. You can always open the XML file and write it to a database (if your version of GnuCash is compiled with database support which is the default option) at a later time of your choosing. A Google search will provide you with tutorials on database support, setup etc. Customers and Vendors in GnuCash are associated and accessed with the business features which support Invoices/Bills/Credit Notes and the associated Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable accounts. Similar restrictions apply to the use of the Tax features in GnuCash. If you want to use them you will need to use the business features which can be a bit cumbersome for dealing with cash sales subject to VAT/GST type taxes for example as you have to create an Invoice/Bill even though the sale is not a credit sale. The default accounts for Invoices and Bills are Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable respectively.

[GNC] Brand new and lost...
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?

Re: [GNC] compiling 3.3
These .go files are precompiled .scm files (and they're in a .cache directory) and usually rebuilt on demand. Try deleting/renaming the whole .cache folder and retry.

Your earlier message showed things being installed in /usr/local and that shouldn’t happen when you’ve set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to ~/.local/gnucash-3.3. As for the question in the earlier mail about the gwenhywfar run path, it’s correct: It’s a search path, a colon-separated list of file paths used to find files. The most familiar example is $PATH that the shell uses to find executable files.

Re: [GNC] MySQL version update: GnuCash API recognize new MySQL database & tables?
Thanks for your suggestion. No, with only my new instance of MySQL running (8.13 running, 5.6 stopped) when I use the GnuCash API to create a new shell database (shelldb) and try to save as mysql, I get the same error: "The server at URL mysql://root@localhost/shelldb experienced an error or encountered bad or corrupt data". It seems to me the GnuCash API is looking for an instance of my old version of MySQL (5.6) and if it's not running, then it fails.

Re: [GNC] MySQL version update: GnuCash API recognize new MySQL database & tables?
Are you able to Save As mysql with the new server? Also have a look in the trace file and see what it says, often it will give more information in the case of db problems.

[GNC] MySQL version update: GnuCash API recognize new MySQL database & tables?
I recently installed an updated version of MySQL Server (8.13) on my machine. I have an established GnuCash database under an instance of MySQL 5.6. I copied all GnCash db/tables from that older version of MySQL to an identically named database/tables in MySQL 8.13. How do I get the GnuCash API to connect to my new instance of MySQL (8.13) ? If I stop my older MySQL 5.6 service and just have my MySQL 8.13 running, and then attempt to start GnuCash it asks for username and password (also identical for the two different MySQL versions) but then gives the standard error that the server encountered bad or corrupt data.
