[Koha] List of what each field in the various tables do

[Karin Christensen]

In November 2003 somebody asked here for a "list of what each field in the various tables do" - see the e-mail below.
I am still waiting for the answer.

OR if somebody would explain or send a link to an explanation of meaning of and difference between
biblio
biblionumber
biblioitemnumber
itemnumber

regards,
