Fw: [Koha] Problems with Z3950 search

Thanks Paul,

I foolishly thought that koha remembered ISBN from acqui.simple/addbooks.pl
page (it kind of does because acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl?isbn=0596003137
contains ISBN number). OK now when I type ISBN into
acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl?isbn=0596003137 and hit "z3950 search" the error
log fills up with:

where DBD lines just keep repeating. Any idea what broke it???

Not being a librarian nor a mysql guru I don't understand these two
comments - hopefully will not have to:-)

Last question. Can I batch LOC lookups or do I have to finish entering one
biblio before issuing the next lookup?

Thanks again
