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
