[Koha] Exporting MARC framework ?

[Magnus Enger]

Hej, Lars!

You can certainly export your frameworks! They live in the
marc_subfield_structure and marc_tag_structure tables in the database, so
you can dump them with something like

mysqldump --opt -u koha -p koha marc_subfield_structure marc_tag_structure >
danmarc2.sql

(Assuming your databaseuser and your database are both called "koha", of
course. )

That will give you all the frameworks, so you might have to edit
danmarc2.sql by hand to get just the danmarc2 framework, unless you delete
any existing framweorks before you enter the danmarc2 stuff.

And if you can get your hands on the danmarc2 spec in some machine readable
form it's probably much easier to transform that into SQL that you can
import into the database, rather than typing it all in "by hand". That's
what I did to get the NORMARC spec into Koha, anyway.

Depending on how similar danmarc2 is to unimarc you may find you have to do
some other changes too, to make your new framework work the way it should,
for example in the display of results and record details.

Good luck! ;-)
