MySQL sync

[Vladimir Bashkirtsev]

Hello,

I was testing latest development version with MySQL backend and in 
general I was satisfied with the results. Great piece of software!

Now here the scenario I want to happen: I have PHP scripts which deal 
with GnuCash data in MySQL DB. It is not a problem to read and show 
account records from MySQL. But PHP scripts should be able to post 
invoices back to GnuCash DB. This side of business is working well too 
but if I have GnuCash open and connected to the same MySQL DB no update 
in GnuCash happens. I've being looking for something what may get 
GnuCash to re-read records but I cannot find anything like it. Does 
MySQL backend has something like this? Perhaps having "last modified" in 
DB record would be good and GnuCash should check it periodically. Or the 
best way is to not to cache anything in memory and use MySQL for each 
single operation. Or I just dreaming? :)

Generally it comes to concurrent use of the same DB by two separate 
GnuCash processes and how they get in sync. Without syncing use of DB 
does not gain much in relation to XML file.

Regards,
Vladimir

PS: I have read warnings about modification of the data by something but 
GnuCash. Still it appears to be the best way to resolve my problem.
