[GNC] Regressing file formats

I am using Gnucash on two computers.

One is a Debian derivative and is running Gnucash 2.6.4

The other is Windows 10, running GnuCashPortable with version 3.1

I was using the file (created on Debian) just fine on both computers, 
but one day I decided to try changing the format to the sqlite3 format 
so I could run reports against the data. Okay, did that, and figured out 
the schema and how to get meaningful reports. Great.

But I then discovered that the Debian copy of Gnucash could no loner 
open the file.

So back to windows, and saved the file back to the xml format.

But Debian still can't open the file coming up with an message that it 
doesn't support the sqlite3 datetime format.

I tried looking at the documentation, but couldn't find anything that 
would seem to regress the file so the older version of Gnucash can open it.

Is there a way for me to fix the file?


Thanks,

David
