The code in GnuCash is the code that has been contributed. I believe that SAP-DB does have comparable functionality to PostgreSQL in terms of offering stored procedures and views, so that it would be feasible to use it in a fairly comparable way. I'm quite sure that SAP-DB offers stored procedures, so that ought to be little problem. You'd have to make sure that SAP-DB has a comparable implementaiton of the SQL "INHERITS" concept. The challenge would be in ensuring that there are suitable "drivers" in place to let GnuCash talk to SAP-DB. The perpetual issue with Gnucash is: You want to add something cool and new. Will the new technology you want to use be more trouble than it's worth? It's already a problem to successfully compile GnuCash; if you make it _more_ daunting, that is not likely to be regarded as a good thing. -- (concatenate 'string "chris" "@cbbrowne.com") http://cbbrowne.com/info/unix.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #81.
