Download qof-0.1.tar.gz and see if you even like the thing. I just added an example program that shows how to use the query object. (Derek, should I copy this example back into gnucash somewhere? where?) One of the earlier steps probably has to be to clean up the naming conventions. We need to hash this out on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd like to agree on a consistent naming convention for subroutines, objects, tokens, etc. and slowly move to that. For the QOF functions, it might even make sense to rename them with a qof prefix. Derek? Anyone? Something that I think would be nice to have would be a prser to convert from a 'QOF query language' to the actual query: e.g. something to parse things like SELECT Memo from gncTransaction WHERE gncTransaction.date_posted=030303; Or something like that. But there are many interesting directions one could go in. > I updated my "resume" on the sourceforge site, but I have a lot of > experience with accounting systems in general, and database driven / > source applications specifically. I have this vague daydream of inegrating the work I did for 'dwi' (Data With Interaction, which hooks glade directly to sql) with qof.

OK, just be sure not to succumb to the urge to violate the GPL ... --linas p.s. I plan to keep all qof discussions on [EMAIL PROTECTED] until such that that people get sick of it. -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
