Gnucash and SQL backend - viable?

[Derek Atkins]

The SQL code does not support any of the new-in-1.8 features (which
includes Scheduled Transactions and all the Business Features).  It is
stable otherwise, but it means you cannot use it for a business.
Work is underway to fix the SQL, but it's taking time (the author
has real-life priorities higher than GnuCash -- imagine that!).
