[GNC] Enhancement suggestion

[Adrien Monteleone]

I could be mistaken, but I don't think uncommitted transactions are 
written using the SQL backends. An edit perhaps, but not a new transaction.

Note, the OP is referencing a crash, or leaving GnuCash open, forgetting 
about a pending edit to be committed, and restarting the computer. I 
think in the latter case, GnuCash will prompt to confirm the 'graceful' 
shutdown initiated by the OS. A hard reset or power down though would not.

However, in such cases, I expect to lose unsaved data anyway, no matter 
what app I'm using.

Regards,
Adrien
