Nope, it's spread out through the code.  Remember, GnuCash was never
designed to be a "DB App".  It's ALWAYS been a "Desktop" app.  So no,
the data logic is most definitely not co-located in a single place.

This is one of many reasons we say that "thou shalt not modify the
database from under GnuCash".  You should only use the GnuCash API (in
C, Scheme, or Python) to modify the data.
