Hi all
I've experienced a problem recently trying to add a biblio from scratch while another user was doing the same operation on the same koha server (CVS Version). The problem was the informations were mixed together. The server is configured to use MARC. The real problem is that I'd like to fix this but is unable to reproduce the error :(
Is there someone out there who had the same problem ? If so, can you tell me how it happened and if you're able to reproduce it ?
Yes. everybody should have the same problem. I don't want tu put shame on katipo but... since version 1.0.0 biblio adding is done like this : 1 ask for a new biblio 2 calculate it's number with max(biblionumber) 3 complete form 4 send datas 5 create biblio (thus incrementing biblionumber in DB). If you have 2 ppl entering a biblio at the same time... you can have twice step 2 before first step 5, resulting in 2 biblios with the same number. /me agree it's an awful bug... Who want to fix it ? the best being to have an auto_increment field as biblionumber that is calculated only at step 5. Note : the MARC editor don't have this bug (i think/hope/pray :-) ) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
