I am using MySQL. When I attempt to Save As over an existing database I see the database already exists warning then when I tell it to go ahead I get the generic server encountered error or bad or corrupt data message.
In gnucash.trace I see * 15:40:07 WARN <gnc.backend.dbi> [GncDbiBackend<Type>::session_begin()] Databse already exists, Might clobber it. * 15:41:37 CRIT <gnc.backend.dbi> [GncDbiBackend<Type>::session_begin()] Unable to create database 'gnucash' If I then look in mysql I see that the database has been dropped, and if I try to Save As again it creates the database correctly. So it appears the drop database is working but then it is unable to create the new one for some reason after dropping, but is able to create it if it does not need to drop it.
