No database server
SQLite is embedded in LedgerSL. There is no separate database service to install, configure, monitor, or administer.
LedgerSL database
Single-user accounting without a database server.
LedgerSL uses SQLite to keep desktop accounting installation and maintenance practical. That simplicity comes with a clear boundary: it is not a simultaneous multi-user network database.
A local company database
Company accounting data is stored in a local database file, making the installation and backup path straightforward.
Built for one workstation
LedgerSL is designed for one user working with a company database at a time on a desktop or laptop computer.
The practical boundary
What “single-user” means for LedgerSL.
One person should work in a LedgerSL company database at a time. The database should remain on the local computer rather than being opened simultaneously by several workstations from a shared network drive.
- One active user per company database
- Local desktop or laptop operation
- No database-server administration
- Not intended for simultaneous network users

The Ledger family
Server editions are taking shape.
Organizations that need concurrent access, or simply prefer Firebird or PostgreSQL, can follow development of our server-based editions. LedgerPG is our flagship PostgreSQL edition, with Banking Center, Collections, and Cash-flow Forecast implemented in its current development build.
Different database. Familiar Ledger.
LedgerFB and LedgerPG build on the familiar Ledger desktop interface and core accounting modules. Their server databases support shared access, while edition-specific features such as the PG Banking Center extend the workflow.
