While GnuCash can use MySQL (as well as Postgres and SQLite) as a
backend, the entire db is read into memory at start-up, rather than
separate records being accessed like a normal db-based app. Thus, it is
not currently set up to do what you are looking for, but that is a
(very) long term goal. There are some other answers in this thread that
explain how to work around this, somewhat, for now.

Good point. Can GnuCash work as a front end to a database that does
record locking, such as MySQL? Otherwise, how would work done by
multiple other users on their copies of the data be safely merged into a
single master file?
It's clear, though, that GnuCash is designed mainly for single users. A
company big enough to have multiple bookkeepers and accountants, needing
access to the data at the same time, may need different software.
