[Koha] Need help in correcting migrated database

[Katrin]

Hi Tanzeem,

to migrate or correct bibliographic data into Koha you have to use MARC 
records - only changing the columns in the table biblio, biblioitems and 
items tables will not give you correct results. Koha stores the complete 
MARCXML record in biblioitems.marcxml so using the export and import 
tools (bulkmarcimport.pl oder staged marc import tools) is the best way 
to migrate and change data.

Changes to the items table can be done with SQL, but you need to reindex 
the changed records after.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
