[GNC] MariaDB?

[Thomas Forrester]

Yes, Adrian, I probably could have just gone in search of the folder
somewhere deep within the WAMP stack's folder tree and copied that over.
Not really sure where MariaDB stores its data, though.  And to be honest
here, I'm just being lazy.  As a career-long IT guy, I certainly can figure
this stuff out.  It just seemed less of a hassle to do a save to xml on the
desktop, then open that from remote, and save again as MySQL on the new
computer.  Doesn't seemed to have lost anything in the translation.

I have all my reports and theme back after following the suggestion to get
it from the AppData folder rather than the User/.gnucash folder.  All is
good.  (until I find otherwise, that is, lol)
