Octavee--<br><br>You are seeing the value that is preserved in the index. Clearly the index is necessary to avoid searching entire database tables for each query. Depending on whether or not you use zebra indexing, a manual reindex can be called by:
<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl<br>misc/migration_tools/rebuild_nozebra.pl<br></div><br>Rebuilding indexes is typically accomplished each night with the same scripts via scheduled job. In full production, it doesn't make sense for cataloguers to rebuild all the indexes each time they add a record.
<br><br>If you manipulate data directly through mysql, you are no longer using Koha. It is up to you to figure out how the application may be broken by this, why MARC relationships or table pointers may no longer be valid, etc. Basically, whatever problems result are not attributable to the application.
<br><br>On the other hand, if you are using Koha's interface, and the logic breaks down, then it may be a bug developers can address. Some of the behavior of indexing and in particular MARC manipulation
have been greatly improved in the newest versions of Koha. In particular, you might benefit from examining the 3.0 alpha just released. <br><br>-joe atzberger<br>LibLime<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 11, 2008 3:43 PM, Octavee Uhl <
