This page is for information about a SQL backend for GnuCash.

Here is the data model created by src/backends/SQL:

Locking table, should have zero or one record. Provides weak protection against simultaneous access.

CREATE TABLE gnclock (
    Hostname varchar(255), 
    PID int
);

Versions table lists all of the other tables with their schema versions (as long as the developer who changes a schema remembers to also change the versions table). Entries should be hard-coded in gnucash.

CREATE TABLE versions (
    table_name      text(50),
    table_version   integer
);

A book is the root container for all other entities in the Query Object Framework. At present, because of the way the load logic and user interface are written, there can be only one book in a database.

CREATE TABLE books (
    guid                CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    root_account_guid   CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    root_template_guid  CHAR(32) NOT NULL
);

Commodities contains descriptions of all currencies, securities, and tangible asset types accounted for in a book. Currencies are preloaded by Gnucash; other commodities are created as required by the user.

CREATE TABLE commodities (
    guid            CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    namespace       text(2048) NOT NULL,
    mnemonic        text(2048) NOT NULL,
    fullname        text(2048),
    cusip           text(2048),
    fraction        integer NOT NULL,
    quote_flag      integer NOT NULL,
    quote_source    text(2048),
    quote_tz        text(2048)
);

Prices contains conversion factors (prices/exchange rates) between two commodities (currencies, securities) at a particular time. Many prices may exist per commodity pair for historical reports.

CREATE TABLE prices (
    guid                CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    commodity_guid      CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    currency_guid       CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    date                CHAR(14) NOT NULL,
    source              text(2048),
    type                text(2048),
    value_num           integer NOT NULL,
    value_denom         integer NOT NULL
);

Accounts are the containing entity for transactions

CREATE TABLE accounts (
    guid            CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    name            text(2048) NOT NULL,
    account_type    text(2048) NOT NULL,
    commodity_guid  CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    commodity_scu   integer NOT NULL,
    non_std_scu     integer NOT NULL,
    parent_guid     CHAR(32),
    code            text(2048),
    description     text(2048)
);

Slots is a sort of catch all for a variety of data lacking a table. A top-level slot will have a have as it's obj_guid the guid of some row in another table. Container slots (which may be of type KVP_TYPE_FRAME or KVP_TYPE_GLIST) will have a giud_val, and child slots will use this value for their obj_guid. (Yes, id's would be much faster but would require a schema change). These guid's are discarded at load, and an outside entity's slots are recursively deleted and rewritten when it is edited.

CREATE TABLE slots (
    id integer PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
    obj_guid            CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    name                text(4096) NOT NULL,
    slot_type           integer NOT NULL,
    int64_val           integer,
    string_val          text(4096),
    double_val          real,
    timespec_val        CHAR(14),
    guid_val            CHAR(32),
    numeric_val_num     integer,
    numeric_val_denom   integer
);

Transactions are transfers of commodities between accounts; if the accounts are for different commodities, then a price is created as the ratio of the quantities in each. Transactions must contain at least two splits, and the credits and debits in the splits must sum to the same amount -- they must balance.

CREATE TABLE transactions (
    guid            CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    currency_guid   CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    num             text(2048) NOT NULL,
    post_date       CHAR(14) NOT NULL,
    enter_date      CHAR(14) NOT NULL,
    description     text(2048)
);

Splits tie an amount of a commodity to a single account in a transaction.

CREATE TABLE splits (
    guid            CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    tx_guid         CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    account_guid    CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    memo            text(2048) NOT NULL,
    action          text(2048) NOT NULL,
    reconcile_state text(1) NOT NULL,
    reconcile_date  CHAR(14) NOT NULL,
    value_num       integer NOT NULL,
    value_denom     integer NOT NULL,
    quantity_num    integer NOT NULL,
    quantity_denom  integer NOT NULL,
    lot_guid        CHAR(32)
);

Lots are used to tie buy and sell transactions together (the transaction guids are contained in slots) to compute capital gains and losses.

CREATE TABLE lots (
    guid            CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    account_guid    CHAR(32),
    is_closed       integer NOT NULL
);

Budgets are the top level entities for, well, budgeting.

CREATE TABLE budgets (
    guid            CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    name            text(2048) NOT NULL,
    description     text(2048),
    num_periods     integer NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE budget_amounts (
    id integer PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
    budget_guid text(32) NOT NULL,
    account_guid text(32) NOT NULL,
    period_num integer NOT NULL,
    amount_num bigint NOT NULL,
    amount_denom bigint NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE recurrences (
    obj_guid                CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
    recurrence_mult         integer NOT NULL,
    recurrence_period_type  text(2048) NOT NULL,
    recurrence_period_start CHAR(8) NOT NULL
);

Scheduled transactions enable automatic creation of real transaction periodically in the future. There is a hidden set of accounts with template transactions having template splits (which store the actual account guids and amounts in slots). The hidden account related to the schedxaction entry is pointed to by template_act_guid.

CREATE TABLE schedxactions (
    guid                CHAR(32) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    name                text(2048),
    enabled             integer NOT NULL,
    start_date          CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
    last_occur          CHAR(8),
    num_occur           integer NOT NULL,
    rem_occur           integer NOT NULL,
    auto_create         integer NOT NULL,
    auto_notify         integer NOT NULL,
    adv_creation        integer NOT NULL,
    adv_notify          integer NOT NULL,
    instance_count      integer NOT NULL,
    template_act_guid   CHAR(32) NOT NULL
);
