[Koha] Storage structure of Koha3 for Marc fields.

[echuang.chew]

Greetings,

Hi Jesse, thanks for your help, I also notice that there are 2 
additional columns added in biblioitems table to store Marc data.
Because currently we build our own tools to migrate the Marc data from 
different system to Koha2, but when come to Koha3, there is a storage 
structure changed on how to store Marc data.
Thus, I am looking for a way on using the marc_xxx data structure in 
Koha3 so that the migration tools remain unchanged.

So, can I conclude that in Koha3, there is no way to using the marc_xxxx 
data structure as in previous version, and the only way to read the marc 
data is from biblioitems table.

Thanks for help.

Best Regards,
eChuang, Chew
