QSF, pilot-link and GnuCash
Progress ! GnuCash (G2 branch) can export certain entities to QSF XML (thanks to Derek tempering my enthusiasm for Gtk 2.4!) Just today, pilot-link has also come through and I've just synced 1,000 Palm entries (contacts, dates, expenses and tasks) to QSF XML (770kb) for the very first time. It took about 25 seconds to read the data from the Palm and under 5 seconds to prepare the QSF from the usual pilot-link objects and write 1,000 entities to disk. There are little bits left to do on both sides and then I have more to do on the maps / other methods to convert between objects. On the GnuCash side, I will be working on a revamped merge druid, support for Account and Transaction exports and more documentation. On the pilot-link side, I'm working on reading SQL commands from a file (they can already be provided on the command line), supporting date ranges (all records this month, all records this year etc.) and reading Palm category fields. I'll also be looking at extending Linas' work in QOF to support a SQL query using 'like' and wildcards: where field like %cash% http://code.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/doxygen/group__SQL.html#ga4 pilot-link now has a method for providing QSF XML data streams and when the maps are finalised, a program like GnuCash could call one of: pilot-qof -aq pilot-qof -a -s select * from pilot_address where entryFirstname = Neil; pilot-qof -a --exclude pilot_expenses pilot-qof -a --database pilot_datebook --date-string 04-12-31 http://code.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/manpages.html A simple dialog in GnuCash to ask the user to press HotSync on the Palm and a data stream can be piped to GnuCash and then to book_merge. Create invoices, new customers, new transactions (from expenses), all sorts. Later versions will allow writing data to the Palm - once I've got the courage! That Palm is the basis of my self-employment!!! The user will also be able to select the pilot-link offline storage QSF XML (e.g. ~/myofflinefile.xml) and read that directly within GnuCash using the File-Import QSF command. Alternatively, pass a command to pilot-qof to query the XML and produce a smaller dataset of just what the user needs: pilot-qof -o ~/myofflinefile.xml -s select * from pilot_address where entryFirstname = Neil; -w mynewfile.xml e.g. The results of that query can then be written to a new file - queries can be made recursive. I'm also continuing with qof-generator that will provide easy creation of new QOF objects as examples or mini-applications for specific purposes. e.g. to create a C application that can convert between objects instead of using a map. I'm doing this because these example objects with mini-applications are the fastest and simplest way of testing the framework and creating new maps. http://qof-gen.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/qof-gen/ The pilot-link code isn't in pilot-link CVS yet, there's a code freeze due to the upcoming v0.12 release. You might say I'm a tad pleased to get it working! :-) -- Neil Williams = http://www.dcglug.org.uk/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3 pgpFxHNxTrijG.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
