I looked into Michael Doran's concerns, but the powers that be want me to steer away from a Z39.50 interface. So, that's as far as I got with that. :/
After looking at the document (http://www.openisis.org/openisis/doc/RdbConv) provided by Ferran Jorba, I created a simple DB structure (pardon my ASCII :)
.---------. .-----------. | item | | marc_data | ----------- ---- ------------- | item_id | | item_id | ----------- | data | | ------------- | /|\ .-------------. | tag_data | --------------- | item_id | | tag_order | | tag | | indicator_1 | | indicator_2 | | subfield | | data | ---------------
Note: marc_data.data is just a 'blob' of the MARC record.
Thanks again for all your help!

Note that in the coming 2.0 version of koha (full marc compliant version), it's the db structure we use to store marc records (except
Pat Eyler a écrit: that we have no marc_data table). to support any marc flavor, we also have 2 parameters table that explains "what" a tag/subfield means. Those parameters tables already exists in marc21 (in english) and unimarc (in french) PS : the 2.0 version should be here in 2003Q1 (february i hope) -- Paul POULAIN koha 2.0 release manager
