[GNC] Archive part of my data

[davelist at mac.com]

I don't think there is (it would have to add adjustments to starting balances effective the starting date), but I've started wondering if using one of the database formats would work better. I have data going back to 2002 so loading and saving is starting to get pretty slow.

So can anyone answer Jonathan's question and if the answer is no, would switching from XML to a database format (I can't remember if we can use Sqlite or just MySQL) give better performanc?. I would think it would unless the first thing gnucash does is read the entire database into memory.

Thanks,
Dave
