Yes. I wanted to only read "necessary data". However, my (admittedly
incomplete) knowledge of the engine led me to the conclusion that parts of th
engine assume that all data is present. I couldn't get the account tree to
show correct values, for example, unless all splits for an account were
present. I ended up just loading the whole database into memory.
