Help needed with report - how to extract subtitle and edition?
by Elaine Bradtke 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

I'm trying to catch duplicate items in data before I upload it (ISBN won't help in this case). In order to do that I've written a report to list the books currently in Koha, and will compare them with my external files. However, if I can't include the subtitle (MARC 245 b) I will get too many false positives (we have lots of things with the same title, but different subtitles) It would also help if I could also have the 250 a (edition) This is what I have: SELECT biblio.biblionumber,biblio.author,biblio.title,biblio.copyrightdate,biblioitems.place,biblioitems.publishercode,biblioitems.isbn FROM items LEFT JOIN biblioitems on (items.biblioitemnumber=biblioitems.biblioitemnumber) LEFT JOIN biblio on (biblioitems.biblionumber=biblio.biblionumber) WHERE items.itype='BK' AND items.holdingbranch='VWML' ORDER BY biblio.author asc This works fine, but doesn't include the 245 b or the 250 a Can anyone help? -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

Problems upgrading to 3.8
by Ramon Andiñach 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi, This is going sound pathetic, and stupid, but I'm in need of some guidance. It has been quite some time since I've tried to use koha. I've been upgrading my koha from 3.00 towards 3.8 via the tarball method. I was attempting to be good, and going in smallish steps so 3.00 to 3.02 to 3.04 to 3.06 and then to 3.8. In between each upgrade I was trying a few searches to make sure that the books end of the db was intact and then backing up the DB. After the 3.06 step it seemed to be working. But, after the 3.8 step suddenly most of the books seem to have vanished. I'd put it down to noticing in the upgrade notes some extra steps that I didn't see in the 3.6 or 3.4 notes (the ones about removing the duplicated item details). So I dropped the DB and reloaded the backup from the 3.6 step and tried without these steps. I've also now tried the original backup too, without success. I'm not sure at this point if it's the items that have vanished or the records too. Yes, I have run rebuild_zebra -b -r as the koha user (several times no luck). So I suppose I'm looking for guidance on a) working out what is going on. b) how to get normality back again. -ramon.

There is not a standard report in Koha to do this. However, it is possible by creating your own custom report. I'm not very familiar with creating Koha SQL reports. Tools to help you create a custom report: - Nicole has produced some videos on creating reports (some are for earlier versions, but they are still relevant): http://bywatersolutions.com/?cat=56&s=report - The manual has a great section on writing custom reports: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.8/en/reports.html - The Koha database schema: http://schema.koha-community.org/index.html - The Koha SQL reports library: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library I would suggest you try and create a report using some of the above material. If you can't get a report to work properly - post it back to the list along with the error message or problem, and the version of Koha you are using. Someone more familiar with SQL reports maybe able to help you identify the problem/point you in the right direction. If you are really lucky someone may have already created such a report and can share it with you.

Barcode - Gaps
by Chief Librarian, SAIACS 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Dear Colleagues, I do not know if the question has been answered in the koha list. However I want to know if there is a SQL script to find the missing barcodes or accession numbers in the database. As I have done bulk import and I would like to find accession/barcode number gaps, so that I would fill the gaps.

You just need to create a "new collection code" in Administration > Authorized values, then clic select "Authorized values" and CCODE... and in the add ITEM part of your record select from the pull-down menu the one (or another) you define. Saludos, FAOA

All items say new.
by Estel Porras 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Hello, just a question. We changed over to Koha in May of 2011. For the most part everything is going fine. The bothersome part is everything is listed as "new". Example: New-FIC New-ANF New-BIO New-MAG Is there anything I can do about this? Do I have to submit a bug? It isn't catastrophic, but very bothersome. The other thing is how can I add a collection code. We do not have a code for a few items, such as Juv Bio and DVDs. I have checked the manual and can't find out how to do this. Tried going into authorities, feeling this would be my best shot..Can't find it. Any help greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful week. Have a great day, ~Estel~ Orland Free Library 333 Mill St. Orland CA. 95963 [530]865-1640
