Don, Good catch. It is the same problem exactly. When you closed the bug, you said that 2.2.9's Check and Repair fixed the missing currency field, which is interesting because 2.3.15's doesn't -- so that's a regression that needs to be fixed on top of everything else. On the other hand, I'm leaning towards making the sql backend just note the missing currency in the log. That seems to be what the xml backend does. Even better, I suppose, would be to simply fix the missing field.
