Hi Chao,
Thank you for your message! I’m glad to hear you’re interested in trying
beanpost. I’ll do my best to answer your questions.
First, the idea for this project was to use PostgreSQL to implement a
beancount-inspired “database engine” for double-entry accounting. While it’s
possible to q
Hi Ben. It's so cool to do accounting in a real database! So I am
eager to learn more about your way of using beancount and beanpost.
1. I haven't tried beanpost yet (I'll definitely do!), but my first
thought is that editing beancount files is much easier than updating
the postgresql entries. Do
It's not pedantic, it's totally needed at some point
It would be nice to be able to generate accurate statements from both sides
of these transactions.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for sharing this! I wasn't aware of this
There’s a plugin that adds processing for an effective_date field. Maybe part
of Reds’ suite? I use this extensively. Maybe worth exploring and adding
explicit support for?

Thanks for your interest. This started as a simple experimental side project,
but I was able

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for maintaining Beancount. Your work
has made it such a great tool for so many of us.
I wanted to clarify that Beanpost does support multiple currencies using a
custom PostgreSQL type and custom aggregator functions. I apologize for not
making
Thanks for sharing, Ben,
Broadly speaking this approach will work if you don't have to match cost
basis and if you have only a single currency.
Note that export to SQL has existed for a while, but I think to be able to
most generally replace the functionality from Beancount one would need a

Hi Everyone,
I hope this email finds you well. I've been using Beancount for many years.
It's been an amazing tool, and I'm grateful to this community and
especially to Martin Blais for maintaining such a fantastic project.
I'm sharing a project I've been working on called Beanpost, which you
