[GNC-dev] Database abstraction

[Thomas]

Hello everybody,

for quite some time I am interested in doing some simple queries against 
the data I have in my GnuCash books that I found hard to specify in 
custom reports or the like.
As I have some technical background, I was thinking whether there is 
some DB abstraction that allows easier queries than the core database 
model behind GnuCash. At least for me, it would be easier to write some 
Python code or SQL queries rather than writing a custom GnuCash report tbh.

So a representation closer to the visual representation in GnuCash where 
it is easier (without countless JOINs for example) to make queries 
(e.g., get all transactions in a specific account that are higher than a 
certain amount).

I'd appreciate any kinds of hints on what you would use for such purposes!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,
Thomas
