gnucash-user Digest, Vol 103, Issue 8

Thanks for this insight.

Does this mean that if we don't convert to sql but stay in XML format, 
our books are interchangeable with 2.2.9-5? If so, it gives us newbies a 
'backup' if we have 2.2.9-5 on another machine.

And that is probably just as well. At this time, there is little gained by converting over to the SQL version; several discussions over the last year or so have underscored this.
