Sorry, Anthony. Yes, I meant the MySQL archive tables (mediatitles_archive 
in this case). 

I'm looking at the table(s) using the command line MySQL console.  This is 
what it says:

...a couple of sample records from the mediatitles table (id 511 is an 
 updated record created after logging in as an alternate user - the akaname 
changed)

mysql> select * from mediatitles;

| id  | name                            | akaname                          
    | progress  | used_in | cnt| is_active | created_on          | 
created_by | modified_on         | modified_by |

| 510 | I’m On My Way                   | I’m On My Way                    
    | p16021491 | |cur|   |  0 |    T      | 2017-06-14 14:18:09 |     1   
   | 2017-06-14 14:18:09 |     1       |

| 511 | (#R43) Mary Had A Little Lamb   | #R43 - Mary Had A Little Lamb 
Anne 4 | p16021544 | |cur|   |  0 |    T      | 2017-06-14 14:18:09 |     1 
     | 2017-06-15 10:17:19 |     2       |
 
...and the mediatitles  archive table - empty :(

mysql> select * from mediatitles_archive;

Empty set (0.00 sec)
