[Koha] 090 Fields [good news :-)]

[Greg Lambert/Amigos]

Thanks Paul....

Is there specific instructions on how to make this change without causing
something else to break?  Say I want to move the Koha fields into the 930
field....  how would I do that?

Thanks,
Greg

I all,

I've read the mail on this thread rapidly.

I just wanted to explain something :
To support any MARC flavour, NO MARC TAG/SUBFIELDS ARE HARDCODED into Koha.
So, you can move the koha fields that are mapped to 090 in the default
configuration to ANYTHING YOU WANT.
There is only 2 constraints :
* The 2 koha fields MUST be in the same MARC tag.
* No other subfield can be defined in this tag. It's only for koha
internal use.

I hope this is a good news for you, and hope you'll like more and more
how Koha was designed :-)
(Koha MARC DB design is @ Paul, Steve and Serguey iirc. You can see some
benchmarks history in /marc/ directory of cvs)
