Hmmm, this sounds like it precludes one of the things I was really
hoping for, namely multi-user ability.  I readily admit that's
probably not a feature in high demand, but it would be so nice for my
wife and I to be able to access GnuCash simultaneously---you'd be
surprised at how often we both want to update our accounts at the same
time (which is always in the late evening once the kids are asleep and
we can finally catch up on non-kid stuff...).

The PostgreSQL backend supposedly would let me do that, but scheduled
transactions don't work with that, right?  Would the external database
connection go away once the embedded-mysql is included?

regards,

roland
