[Koha] Database description

[Owen Leonard]

				Hi everybody,

 As we get further along in evaluating Koha and closer to an actual switch, 
we're starting to address thorny issues like database transfers.  This brings 
up a couple of issues you all might be able to help us with.

First, is there a good write-up of the database structure, with descriptions of 
all the fields?  Some stuff is self-explanatory, like 'surname' and 'firstname' 
in the borrowers table, but others are more obscure.

Second, is there any library out there that's made the switch from another 
library automation system, doing a full database transfer in the process?  If 
so, we'd love to hear about how they approached it.

Thanks,

  Owen
