Subject: GnuCash with SQL and remembering Payee addresses for printing checks
Date: Sat, Oct 25, 2014 10:34 PM

Hello:


Can someone help me understand the "SQL" page in the GnuCash Wiki 
(http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/SQL)?


In particular, I'd like to know how this relates to current 
versions of GnuCash and its ability to remember payee when printing 
checks.  This "SQL" page includes an SQL specification for a table 
"vendors", which includes lines for "addr".  However, a 21 Apr 2014 
reply on this list reported that, 'GnuCash does not have a "Payee 
Address Database" for checks.' 
(http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnucash.user/54550).


"Vendors" sounds like "Payees" to me.


1.  I can thing of two possible interpretations:


1.1.  Was the 21 April 2014 reply mistaken?


1.2.  Or does the current database for GnuCash 
include space for vendor / payee addresses, but that's not currently 
used when printing checks?


2.  In either case, what might a user do to get GnuCash to 
remember addresses for payees in printing checks?


Thanks,
Spencer Graves


p.s.  I have GnuCash 2.6.1, which is the default version for Ubuntu 
14.04 LTS, where it's installed.  I could upgrade to GnuCash 2.6.4 if 
that would make a difference.  If needed I could also compile GnuCash 
from source.  In a thread on this list around January 10, 2014, Derek 
Atkins suggested I "could always code in the feature and donate it."  
Some else said, "It is a feature I too would like.  But don’t know how 
to make the necessary changes."
