Hello, all, I'm slowly getting my head around how 2.0 works, but I keep running into things that stump me. I hope someone can help. I am trying to import MARC records into the database; following Stephen Hedges' good advice, I've used bulkmarcimport.pl to import them. This is totally successful as far as the biblio information is concerned. However, I'm having a problem with holdings information. The problem is that, apparently, although each time the script (bulkmarcimport.pl) inputs a record, it creates *two* items. Well, actually it inserts only one entry into the 'items' table, as should be, but two sets of entries into the 'marc_subfield_table' corresponding to the holdings tags I've used. Here's an example: mysql> select subfieldid, bibid, tag, tagorder, subfieldcode, subfieldvalue from marc_subfield_table where bibid=2; +------------+-------+-----+----------+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | subfieldid | bibid | tag | tagorder | subfieldcode | subfieldvalue | +------------+-------+-----+----------+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | 177 | 2 | 300 | 9 | f | BOOK | | 176 | 2 | 260 | 8 | c | 1987 | | 175 | 2 | 245 | 7 | a | Reading and Writing Disorders in Different Orthographic Systems | | 14 | 2 | 952 | 6 | b | 1 | | 15 | 2 | 952 | 6 | d | 1 | | 174 | 2 | 100 | 6 | a | Aaron, P.G. (Ed.) | | 18 | 2 | 952 | 8 | b | 1 | | 19 | 2 | 952 | 8 | d | 1 | | 20 | 2 | 952 | 8 | u | 1 | | 178 | 2 | 852 | 14 | k | LB1050.5.N33 | | 179 | 2 | 090 | 15 | c | 2 | | 180 | 2 | 090 | 15 | d | 2 | +------------+-------+-----+----------+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ The result is that a catalog search shows each biblio having two items, (one with an itemnumber, and one without, I think). Unless someone else has noticed a problem with this script, I figure that I'm inputting my holdings information wrong. I've mapped tag 852 k (my call number) onto 'biblioitems.classification', and 952 b and d onto 'items.homebranch' and 'items.holdingbranch', respectively. (These last two each have a value of "1", the intent being to record that we have one copy in our main library.) Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
