GnuCash does not support users writing to the database behind GnuCash's
back.  In other words, neither of these operations are supported.  If
you want to write into the GnuCash database you MUST use the GnuCash API
(in C, Scheme, or Python).  Writing to the database directly can cause
data loss, so we do not support it (just like we don't support writing
to the XML data file directly).
