Hi Nick,
Thanks for responding.
Try: SELECT issue_id FROM issues JOIN old_issues USING (issue_id)
Running the above produced about 91 rows of overlapping values:
mysql> SELECT issue_id FROM issues JOIN old_issues USING (issue_id);
+----------+
| issue_id |
+----------+
| 14374 |
| 14424 |
| 14372 |
| 14369 |
| 14617 |
| 14391 |
| 14383 |
| 14381 |
and so on...
You can then alter those ids but pushing them up and bump the
auto_increment for the table above the MAX(issue_id) FROM old_issues.
I'll increase the auto increment and let you know if that solves the issue.
A similar problem can occur in the reserves/old_reserves tables
I checked the reserves/old_reserves tables, there no duplicate
reserve_ids there.
Regards,
Lennon

Hi Everyone,
I'm running Koha 16.11.07, installed via packages, on Ubuntu 14.04.
Recently, one of my clients started having circulation problems with
their Koha system. Items that have been checked in are still appearing
in the patron's account. This has been happening randomly to different
patrons at different times using different items. There is no
consistent
traceable pattern, and there are no errors showing client-side.
When i checked the Koha intranet logs, the following errors came up:

From the little that i understand, the duplicate entry is occurring
because that table has reached the upper limit of the auto-increment
field (see the first comment in this thread). Therefore, when a new
record is inserted into the table, instead of generating a unique
value,
it is producing a duplicate key entry.
What i think this then does on the client side is that when an item is
checked in, instead of a new unique value being created for that
particular transaction in the issue/old_issue fields, a duplicate
value
is generated and assigned to that check-in. The system then thinks
that
the item has already been checked in, since the supposedly unique
value
has been generated. The item will then continue showing in the
patron's
account, even though it's been checked in.
Am i correct in my assessment of what is happening?
I opened the module that was generating that error
sudo nano -Bu +2179 /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.pm
The lines of code in the section around line 2179 deal with two tables
in particular, issues and old_issues;
# FIXME Improve the return value and handle it from callers
$schema->txn_do(sub {
$dbh->do( $query, undef, @bind );
my $id_already_exists = $dbh->selectrow_array(
q|SELECT COUNT(*) FROM old_issues WHERE issue_id = ?|,
undef, $issue_id
);
if ( $id_already_exists ) {
my $new_issue_id = $dbh->selectrow_array(q|SELECT
MAX(issue_id)+1 FROM old_issues|);
$dbh->do(
q|UPDATE issues SET issue_id = ? WHERE issue_id = ?|,
undef, $new_issue_id, $issue_id
);
$issue_id = $new_issue_id;
}
$dbh->do(q|INSERT INTO old_issues SELECT * FROM issues WHERE
issue_id = ?|, undef, $issue_id);
I assumed the problems with the duplicate keys are emanating from
these
two tables. I tried increasing the index field of the column
"issue_id"
in both the old_issues and issues tables from INT to BIGINT (in the
hopes of increasing the maximum limit of unique keys being
generated) by
doing the following in MySQL:
mysql> use koha;
mysql> describe old_issues;
mysql> ALTER TABLE old_issues MODIFY issue_id BIGINT UNSIGNED
NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;
mysql> describe issues;
mysql> ALTER TABLE issues MODIFY issue_id BIGINT UNSIGNED NOT
NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;
However, the problem is still occurring. Can anyone help with an
explanation of what is happening and why, and how i can fix it?
For now,
i'm just going to reinstall my client's database, but i don't think
that's going to be a permanent fix since the problem is likely to
recur.

Lennon Mazonde
