Hello,

Is it possible to transfer records from a koha database 1 to another Koha database 2 ?? In local ? For exemple I have my own database koha on my laptop (no server, no Internet, just Koha in localhost). And in the future I'll copy this database (records) to another koha database which is newly created (without any records). Is this transaction possible? And how?

Thanks

Yes, I do it often. Koha needs to be created the same way on both machines, same password, and same options. On your laptop execute on the command line: mysqldump -u kohaadmin -p koha > koha.sql Enter the password that you set up for kohaadmin. Copy the koha.sql file to machine 2. On machine 2 in the directory that you copied koha.sql to enter: mysql -u kohaadmin -p Enter the same password use koha; source koha.sql quit I have Koha on my server at home and I use that technique to copy it to my net book when I go shopping for books. I also use it to copy the Koha database from a library that I'm supporting to a test bed at home in order to test options for them. -- Bob
