By far the fastest procedure for installing LedgerSMB is by using the published Docker images: Being an ERP, there are many dependencies to be installed and all of them are included in the images, with the exception of the required PostgreSQL database. There are two ways to provide the PostgreSQL functionality: by setting up a separate PostgreSQL server or by using a PostgreSQL-providing Docker container.

Why does the acc_trans table have fewer lines after upgrading to 1.7?

Submitted by ehu on Tue, 08/27/2019 - 13:11

Short answer: Due to differences in the database schema in relation to storing foreign currency transactions.

Long answer: The database schema before 1.7 required 2 database rows in the acc_trans table to store functional currency and foreign currency amounts. As of 1.7, the schema stores these two amounts - which relate to the same journal line - into one database row. When migrating data from the old schema to the new one, the migration routine tries hard to identify pairs of rows which can be combined into a single row in the new schema.
