2010-11-26 Thread Phil Longstaff
That's not quite OK. If a new version of gnucash is released which requires a changed db schema, gnucash will try to automatically add new columns and constraints. This might mean we will need to package schema upgrades as a separate utility to be run by the dba. An example of this is that in
