[Koha] Flood recovery in Brisbane - pulling data from Koha

[Chris Cormack]

You can certainly do this, and you don't even need access to the backend if
you are running Koha 3.2.0 or later.
You can do it all by creating a report from sql in the reports section.

I will find you the sql to do it when I get in front of a real computer (not
a phone :)).

Sorry to hear about the lost stock, I hope Koha can be some help in the
recovery, any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Amanda,

I should think you will be able to run any number of reports over the Koha
data to haul out whatever 'results' you need so long as the backend data is
available. It is easy to manipulate reports data in excel but the 64,000
line limit is a trap for young players (Access is better).

You will probably also want to know the stock which was not currently on
issue or loan. A last seen date might be useful too if you need to justify
that the stock list is current ie not 'lost'.

You may also want to extract the data about cost and list prices and date of
purchase in order to get a sense of the value of the lost stock. You may
need to sort by purchase date and claim 90% of the value of stock less than
1 year old but only 10% of stock 9 years old etc.

Good luck

Cheers Jo.
