ran the sync items and it told me to re-index the db when done. I did that and 
then I tried setting the -prefix setting in the preferences. I can search the 
catalog by barcode and it is found and it tells me there is a copy available 
but when I try to checkout the book it says barcode is not found. I am using 
the internal db option instead of zebra and Koha 3.00 on Ubuntu 8.10 with LAMP.

This will have to be done in two parts as you got it setup.  First is to update 
the items table, then there is a command line script to update the marc and 
zebra.

First:

update db1.items cross join tempdb.items using ( itemnumber ) set 
db1.items.barcode = tempdb.items.barcode;

That should take care of the database update.  I haven't tested it though, so 
wait on others on list to verify it.

Second:

/usr/local/koha/bin/maintenance/sync_items_in_marc_bib.pl

That should update the marc records in the database and the zebra records.

Good luck.

Good Afternoon All

 

I posted on the Koha users list as well but figured I would try here as to.

 

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
