Hello, Thomas,

Thanks for your interest in CK-Ledger.  Before answering your
query, please note that, earlier on, I have received a formal request
from the SQL-Ledger team to remove all reference to SQL-Ledger from
CK-Ledger and, in deed, since CK-Ledger, v.0.0.9.1, all such
references had been removed.

a)    SQL-Ledger's and CK-Ledger's table schemas are different.  Some
        of the tables and fields may have the same name, but they could
mean
        totally different things.

b)    I would advise against importing SQL-Ledger's SQL data directly
        into CK-Ledger.  It would be better to recreate your account
        balances, invoice balances, etc, within CK-Ledger at a fix point
in time
        (eg just after year end).  Moreover, SQL-Ledger's data structure
        does not support some of CK-Ledger's features, eg, ledger listing.

c)    CK-Ledger supports multiple ledgers, so if each company utilizes
        one or more ledgers, 'multiple companies' are supported.  However,

        multiple ledger setup does require quite a bit of manual tweaking
        of the underlying phpgroupware.

d)    There are too many differences between CK-Ledger and SQL-Ledger.
        You would have to test out the two software individually to find
out
        the numerous differences.

I am forwarding a copy of this reply to
ck-...@li...,
so others are aware of current development.

Cheers,
CK
