RE: [SQL-Ledger-users] evaluation of sql-ledger

[Dieter S. <dsi...@sq...>]

SQL-Ledger was never intended to be just a webbased accounting system. 
This is the reason for not using php or CGI and perl instead. Perl is
available on every platform I can think off which makes it virtually
platform independant.

I don't have a preference which SQL servers is used as long as
transactions are supported. Early versions did work with mySQL but I
dropped support starting with Version 1.0
