"Retain log files:" user preference not working

Perhaps I misunderstand things, but I thought that the SQL backend doesn't need log files, since all changes are committed to the DB immediately. It would seem to me that under those circumstances, the bug ought to be that Gnucash is creating log files at all for the SQL backend.

Sorry I misspoke. Upon looking I see there is no 0 option. I've tried
"Never" and 1 before. Nothing seems to have any effect. I agree with your
suspicion that this feature is broken for sql.
