SQL Databases from before 2.3.16

Everyone using a SQL backend who started with data saved from XML with a Gnucash version before 2.3.16 should re-save from XML with 2.3.17 and re-enter any intervening transactions.

I just fixed 635967 [1], which complained that scheduled transactions didn't work in 2.3.17 from a database created with 2.3.15.

That's true, and r19911 fixes it. It was caused by a change in the way that KVP data are saved and retrieved by the SQL backend in r19729 which fixed 627831 [2], a much worse data loss: All online banking and some transaction data for transactions that have more than one KVP slot; perhaps other data as well.
