I believe the answer is "history."
Quoting
I have been puzzling over why GNUCASH was not written on top of an existing
database engine.
There are several excellent GNU databases out there.
The natural design of a program such as GNUCASH would be the something like
SQL-Ledger .
This would solve all kinds of problems with this program
The most important need would be the ability to run custom SQL queries on the
underlying data.
I have taken another look at Gnucash as I have not tried to use this program in
some time. I cannot tell whether
this is possible or not.
Last time I tried to use this program importing using CSV
Huh? What??
It is inappropriate for GNUcash to interact with OpenOffice?
The debate between canned accounting systems and open systems is well known.
Is GNUcash designed to be a canned system? What would be the purpose for open
source software to
be a black box?

The problem with Gnucash is that it is hard or perhaps practically impossible
to modify unless perhaps one is
very familiar with the program. THis is at least how it used to be.
This makes it practically impossible to switch from our system to GNUcash. IT
was some time ago that I tried to wor
I meant Base [1], as in the database part of Open/Libre Office?
I am certain that there is interest and demand for an accounting program based
on BASE.
I have read several internet posts stating such.
If there is such a project, I would like to contribute.
IF there is not such a projec
I do not understand your reply. We are using a program based on Access for our
accounting.
I would dearly like a solution without Microsoft.

I have not looked at this program in some time, but last time I checked it out
it was pretty
much worthless to me. The program is pretty much a black box and modification

very difficult.
The best idea would be to base the program on Base. This would al

QOF is an offshoot from the GnuCash
Project, where this framework is a deep, central component. QOF is basically
the GnuCash "engine" with all of the financial objects removed. As such, QOF is
"tried and true", and has proven its worth. However, this SourceForge project is
listed as "alpha"

OK, the code is apparently well documented and certainly some work went
intothis.There is one point I am absolutely certain about.
Anyprogram named Gnucash should be able to communicatewith a spreadsheet
program.So the question becomes why is it so hard to importand
export a check register
This can be implemented in a gazillion different
ways,
but in the end there should be data in the
program
that resembles
struct check{
char *number;
char *payee;
char *amount;
char *memo;
char *etc;
};
Now what I am not understanding is why is it not
trivial
to import
