I hadn’t realized that the auto_increment reset happens on server restarts as well until you mentioned it on the list. In any case, I’m glad to see your interest in this, because this really is a frustrating issue!<br><br>I still don’t understand why you’d have data lost, because you should get a fatal software error before anything is actually lost, and that should give you the opportunity to manually repair the increment counter and problematic IDs, but… I haven’t yet read all the links, so I’ll keep reading. Regardless of this fine point, I still think it is something worth fixing, so thanks again for your work on this one!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>I’ll let you know what I think/find after reviewing the links…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>David Cook<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Systems Librarian<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Prosentient Systems<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>72/330 Wattle St<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Ultimo, NSW 2007<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Australia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Office: 02 9212 0899<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Direct: 02 8005 0595<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org [mailto:koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jonathan Druart<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, 20 July 2017 1:39 AM<br><b>To:</b> koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Koha-devel] AUTO_INCREMENT fix - prevent data lost<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I did not get confirmation, so I am not sure you all understand how important is this fix.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>We are going to fix properly and globally a long standing issue, and prevent data lost.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>I *really* want to see some of you to test this trick and confirm me that you agree on the solution and we can advertise it on the general Koha ML.<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, 12 Jul 2017 at 15:11 Jonathan Druart <<a href="mailto:jonathan.druart@bugs.koha-community.org">jonathan.druart@bugs.koha-community.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm'><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Hi devs,<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Please review and test <a href="https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix" target="_blank">https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>I have added a ref from the Koha on Debian wiki page <a href="https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Further_Configuration" target="_blank">https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian#Further_Configuration</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>It sounds like I should add it somewhere more visible, but do not find where, any ideas?<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>See also bug 18931 where I would like to add a warning on the about page if data are corrupted.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Please review quickly, that way we can share the tips on the general mailing list.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Jonathan<o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
