Greetings,<br>
<br>
Hi Jesse, thanks for your help, I also notice that there are 2 additional columns added in biblioitems table to store Marc data.<br>
Because currently we build our own tools to migrate the Marc data from different system to Koha2, but when come to Koha3, there is a storage structure changed on how to store Marc data.<br>
Thus, I am looking for a way on using the marc_xxx data structure in Koha3 so that the migration tools remain unchanged.<br>
<br>
So, can I conclude that in Koha3, there is no way to using the marc_xxxx data structure as in previous version, and the only way to read the marc data is from biblioitems table.<br>
<br>
Thanks for help.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
eChuang, Chew<br>

Greetings,<br>
<br>
I am new to Koha3, after I upgraded my Koha2 to Koha3, notice that the<br>
database design has been changed.<br>
FYI, I am using the non zebra version of Koha3. Can anyone tell me is<br>
Koha3 still using marc_XXXX tables to stored the marc fields ?<br>
Or is it any configuration to be done so that Koha3 will still<br>
using the<br>
marc_XXXX for storing marc fields ?<br>
<br>
Can anyone please help me ?<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
eChuang, Chew<br>

Koha 3 actually stores the MARC data quite differently, as a data blob in the biblioitems.marc and biblioitems.marcxml tables. This is not configurable.<br>
<br>
Note that to get NoZebra search working, you do have to run misc/migration_tools/rebuild_nozebra.pl , to update the search indexes.<br>
