Using PostgreSQL

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

You need to install the gnucash-sql package to add the PG support.
Then just use a 'postgres://...' URI for the name of your datafile.

The PG backend is curently being re-written by Matthew Vanneck,
so you might want to talk to him before you start ahead on anything.
Currently NONE of the new-in-1.8 features work with the PG backend.
