<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We’ve migrated data and now want to
re-migrate with more accurate mapping of records/items. (We’re
learning more how to use Marc tags/fields daily!) Koha admin interface
seems to only allow re-migration thru a matching of ISBN/ISSN. >From my
limited knowledge, I’m thinking it would be helpful to have additional
matching fields for a re-import. Preferably *<b>required</b>*
fields/tags, unlike ISBN/ISSN.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Given that this is not an option, I’m
considering whether there is a way from my Windows XP client to edit the
MySQL tables hosted on our Koha Linux server. Could I view, edit, and
delete Marc records and Koha 952 items this way? Might the GUI be this
one: <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html">http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html</a>?

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Another related issue I’ve recently
come across is that I don’t think I can use MarcEdit to work with
existing records until we’ve entered ISBN from scratch?! Maybe I
should assign bogus, unique ISBN as a workaround in order to move records in
and out of Koha? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
