Trying out the db backend question

Hi,

I have compiled gnucash trunk with --enable-dbi, and sucessfully brought
a copy of my gnucash data file into a mysql db.

I have entered a bunch of transactions, and first thing I wanted to test
was can I get this back into an xml file.

I noticed that the saveas function will enable me to save (takes
forever) as an sqlite db.  This however doesn't produce a functional
copy of my data.  Note that I *do* realize that this is a work in
progress.

Question is: Can I make the dbi enabled gnucash to save its data to an
xml file?   Do you even want any feedback at this time from those who
choose to test this out?

Thanks,

Boyd
