saving the file as a database offer any advantages over using the

The main advantage of the database format is that you could create
different views into your data using a product such as LibreOffice. You
can go further if you have any knowledge of the SQL language used with
relational databases.
There is currently no encryption of the database itself. What I do is
dump the DB to a file and encrypt that, then delete the DB. When I next
need it, I decrypt and reload. If you're going to use Mysql, there is a
script available under kmymoney/contrib/mysqlcrypt.sh which you may find
useful.
Thanks for the information. I think at this time I'll just stick with
using the default file format and not the database format. I like the
fact that the file is encrypted automatically for me when I close the
program.
