I'd rather talk about sql-ledger and how to make it even better, rather than trash nola, which may have improved since I evaluated it in November-December 2001 and January 2002. I will say that I *wanted* to use nola (php and mysql) more than sql-ledger (perl and postgresql) or Appgen Mybooks (java) since I prefer php and mysql. In spite of my bias, I had to go with sql-ledger. So I'll bounce it back to you. What are your experiences, good and bad, with sql-ledger? Does the lack of payroll bother you? Do you have a workaround?
