Using: SVN 16836 gda-dev2 branch.
Postgresql 8.2.6
1. start gnucash with --nofile option
2. open read-only copy of existing xml file.
3. At this point, the accounts window opens and NO accounts are
displayed. If I understand Phil's post correctly, I should have had
accounts here, but with unreliable balance information.
4. I tried to save to a database using the File menu Database Connection
option.
5. I chose an existing connection (mergeant was happy with this
connection, so I believe it was valid). I had previously created an
empty database in postgresql and a user to own it. These were as
specified and tested in the connection.
6. At this point, tables were created. No data were entered in to the
tables. Possibly this is connected with #3 above.
7. I noticed that a file .gnucash/data/xxx.xac.db was created, where xxx
was the name (not the actual:) of my xml file. I had not select
anything to cause it to use SQLite. I did not investigate the contents
of this file. However, it was less than one tenth the size of the
compressed xml file. I do not believe that this file should have been
created.
