Do you have a specific reason for wanting to do that?

Sure there are -- your user account login credentials!
Unless, of course, you don't HAVE user login credentials, at which point I
would say "there's your problem"!

Thank you. Didn't know you could make a MySQL db, logon-only.

I have been using GnuCash with a MySQL database. I used it for the
ability to replicate to an offsite backup/slave.
That feature has saved me a number of times.
Local LAN is very fast. Even over a slow WAN connection it's pretty fast
as long as I keep the Database limited to about a year.

Also remember that data is only as reliable as that whi
Just tried to start up GC. Fresh boot of Win 10 PC and I get a message
window:
"GnuCash could not obtain the lock for C:\" ( etc. file location)
option to open read only (wont work for me!),create new file, open anyway,
quit
I need to get that file open it has all my data!
I do have a back up.
Simple fix. Close GNUCash. Use File Explorer to navigate to your GC data
folder. Near the bottom you'll see a file with type LCK. Delete it. Open
GC and enjoy.

Hi
It is mainly to get around the long load times and stalls on autosaves
for v3.x. But having it (sequentially) accessible from multiple PCs is
an interesting bonus.
I will have it accessible on WAN through an SSH tunnel too, but I
suspect that the performance might not be very good here, s

A database rule I encountered and seems to be true is a corrolary to GI-GO:
A databbase's data are only good
Well, I find it much simpler to click "Open anyway" since I know no one else
has my Gnucash file open.

If you're hoping that the db version is going to load faster, you should
probably abandon that. As I have been told, the startup for the db isn't faster
because Gnucash still loads the entire file into memory at startup. Saves are
instant, though.

I would think just clicking "Open Anyway" would be easier.
But glad you got it working :)

It's trivial to reset a mysql password, if you are relying on that to
provide ANY kind of security you might want to rethink.

The important thing is that BEFORE you jump to either using "open
anyway" or deleting the lock file you take a few seconds to think about
WHY this happen
Hello,
Before I did an update many months ago I was able to create a particular report
and for some reason I can't figure out how I did itas I lost all my reports
after the update.
The report had products I sold in there. This report was generated from when I
created an invoice and gave a descri

Ahh. It felt like it loaded faster from the database, but I just timed
it and it is the same. In any case, the stalls on autosave are enough to
switch to a database for me.
I have to add though that even if day-to-day writes to the database are
instant then the initial import does take forever

I can probably start spending a little time each month contributing to
documentation. I read about how to start contributing and noticed that one of
the steps is to open a bug in Bugzilla. I noticed when searching Bugzilla

1. Do not ‘Accumulate Splits’ when you post the invoice(s). This can be done by
