[GNC-dev] Nice Job All!

[Scott Morgan]

Ok, thanks for the clarification.   If SQL is the main model format where
is the best place to look for docs on the SQL schema ?   I don't even seem
to be able to get see the XML correctly, I will log this as a bug (perhaps
the older 3.11 version [on an old mac 10.10.5])  ie;

cat 2020-01-07.gnucash.xml.gnucash


4???p?~???'??M??f??

I'm digging in the bug list, but is this known to anyone?
