[SL] Restarting with transactions and bookings, on a clean sheet but not having to renter, customers, suppliers, goods

[Luc v. S. <lu...@co...>]

I started using SQL-ledger in nov 2006 and have been basically using it 
to do my purchase orders and by doing that I learned gradually.

I postponed doing bookkeeing and sales bookings ( with a few exceptions 
). Now I have been reviewing my ledger and discovered there are some 
mistakes here and there. I have setup the general ledger now and 
basically want to redo my work so everything works according this ledger.

However I have not been able to easily undo all bookings and I have 
discovered that some things like services I can not alter the account at 
this moment. I have access to postgressql via PGadmin, but i am not 
knowledgable when it comes to postgress nor do I know enough about 
interdependecies within SQL-ledger.

I looked at the reverse transactions possibility but nothing seems to 
happen ( I assume this is beacuse I did not log transactions)

Next to that my database was setup in ASCIII encoding and PGadmin 
advices me to use UTF8.

The questions:  1)  Is there an easy way to start all over again 
whithout reentering all suppliers, customers, goods ?)
                        2) If not within SQl-ledger, can I just copy the 
tables out of ASCII encoded database an paste tese tables in a UTF8 
database ?

Thanks in advance for your quick reply
