Well the current ( => old ) Pg-backend for gnc has the so called
"single-user-mode". In this mode no changes on the db are propagated
to other instances accessing the database. Of course this is not what
one would ideally expect, but if you know what you are doing.... The
prospect to have a working sql-backend for gnucash sound very
interesting to me, and I guess to some other people as well, even if
it doesn't support multi-user access.
