No. Your understanding of how it works is incomplete.
Ok, fair enough. But,...

...I was actually considering that perhaps the explanation meant the "default" config was the virtual server writing to the detail file. I suppose I should have gone with my initial instincts on that one instead of thinking "that can't possibly be right".
Make sure that the detail file default virtual server writes to is the same that buffered-sql will read from (it isn't same by default). Uncomment sql in accunting section of buffered-sql.
Thanks for explaining/confirming that for me. I made the necessary changes in the detail module, and now accounting records are being buffered. Yeah!

So, once buffered-sql is configured correctly, it's the same thing as decoupled-accounting. Is that right? What I'm trying to say is that although these are two different terms, the end result is exactly the same?
