sql server compact

[David T.]

Ah. That's too bad. Since libdbi identifies itself as a database abstraction tool, I figured that Gnucash's use of it meant that any of its available drivers might work. Thanks for correcting me.

Even with DBI intermediating the SQL access, each SQL Server has unique setup requirements that are handled in src/backends/dbi/dbibackend.c. At present, we support *only* SQLite3, MySQL, and Postgres. We do not have the resources to support other backends, even though libdbi has drivers available for them. Sorry.
