[GNC] how to commit a transaction with sqlite

[David Cousens]

Jim,

The transaction should be committed to the datafile immediately on pressing
"Enter" in any transaction editing mode in an account register using any of the
database backends. You normally use the 'Tab key to cycle through fields in the
transaction as you do in the xml backend. AFAIK Enter in the xml backend only
commits the transaction to a copy in memory but not to the file on disk.
