For thease reason and others in the mailing list (one about to have an
applet), is realy important to allow simultaneous multiaccess to the
GnuCash data.

Allowing other apps to use a library to connect to the data for
consult or modify, without need to run ANY GUI is one of the best
solution. I think the use of a GDA based interface could be usefull,
any could create powerfull (near to the standard SQL instructions)
queries for insert, update or delete, using GdaQuery, connect to the
database backend using GdaDict. This library *must* ensure the data
integrity and, I think, works as a layer between the applications and
GC's data.
