Re: [CK-Ledger-users] SQL-LEDGER

[<chi...@ya...>]

Hi, Jim,

My feeling towards SQL-Ledger import facility is still
the same.

a)    I don't wish to be seen as chasing after
SQL-Ledger user base.  I am a great
       admirer of Dieter's work.  In fact, this is the
reason why I created CK-Ledger
       based on SQL-Ledger's design in the first
place.  However, if Robert would
       provide the conversion script, it is perhaps
something that you could discuss
       between yourselves, but I am afraid I would not
incorporate the conversion
       script into CK-Ledger, short of official
blessing from Dieter himself.

b)    The other point is that AFAIR the internal data
structure of SQL-Ledger
       had been evolving thru' the years.  If you have
several SQL-Ledger sites
       that were deployed at different points in time,
then you would have to be
       extra careful about the conversion.  The data
structure of the various sites
       may have some lingering legacy that may not
have been fully handled during
       SQL-Ledger version upgrade.

I totally agree with Robert's suggestion that the best
timing is the
beginning of your next fiscal period.  Furthermore,
there is one other
person/group that you really have to consult.  Your
SQL-Ledger site auditors,
internal and external.  They are the person(s) that
ultimately decide whether
the result of any conversion is acceptable or not, and
I suspect they'll demand
lots and lots of paper trail,   :-)   .

Cheers,
CK

You wouldn't lose your historical data since that
would be available with your current SQL-ledger
system.  Of course, local/state/federal laws could
require you to keep your SQL-ledger system available
for some time.

similar are the data tables?  I'm not very familiar
with the data tables of either system but I've
exported/imported data before.
