[GNC] Database backend for gnucash?

Dear all,

Thank you for your assistance. I have identified the key issue: it is
related to the platform package. On Linux, GnuCash is preinstalled on the
major distributions. However, the packages provide a binary that supports
only the XML file format. As a result, when saving, there is only one
format option available: XML, despite the presence of a selection box. This
appears to be the case in Ubuntu, and it seems that this limitation is not
widely communicated.

I believe this situation could be considered a form of discrimination. If I
wish to use a database backend, I will likely need to compile a GnuCash
binary myself. While this is not a significant problem for me, it would be
beneficial for others if this information were included on the download
page or in the documentation.

Thank you once again for your support.

Best regards,
    Zsolt
