[Koha] Updating database

[James Weinheimer]

Actually, if I understand this question, it's one that I would also like to
know the answer:

Is there a way of overwriting a record already in the database (not in the
MARC reservoir)? This would be a very nice function which could allow for
the creation of "temporary" or "preliminary" records that could then be
overwritten by another record downloaded from another library. Of course, we
would need to retain acquisitions and circulation information. There could
be various levels of control in this, too (e.g. overwrite certain fields but
not others).

Thanks,
Jim
