[Koha] Mass updating a field

[Roche III, Edward]

This is funny. I tried everything to updates this field. I tried the
import file and sql statements. It didn't update then I go back about 15
minutes later and the field is updated. The time I didn't get an error
was when I did the import but after I ran the import the field wasn't
changed. Would the import continues to run even if I navigated away from
that page?

 

Thanks

Ed

How are you connecting to MySQL? Through ODBC or through the MySQL
administrator, or running commands directly in the command line?

I get this error:

 

Output from SQL command UPDATE items i, temp t SET i.barcode = t.barcode
WHERE i.itemnumber = t.itemnumber ..

No data returned 

 

Just about everything I tried so far gives me this error.

 

Thanks

Good Afternoon All

 

I am in need of a SQL statement to update my barcode field in the items
table. When we exported our catalog from Follett it removed a space that
was in out barcodes so now when we try to scan an item it is not being
found because the barcode field in Koha is missing the space. What I
have done so far:

 

1)      Export from the items table: itemnumber and barcode

2)      Added the space back into the barcode field

3)      Created a temp table in the koha db

4)      Imported the data into the temp table

 

I now need to move the data from the temp table over to the items table
to update the barcode field.

 

Any thoughts?  

 

Thanks

Ed
