It seems that a lot of library cards use 14 digit numbers. I suspect this is because some bar code scanners only support 16. At the moment, koha supports 9-character card numbers. Can we make it support 14? Do I just need to update the database? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

Hiya Yep, you will just need to change the database, while you are doing that, can you make sure that the column is set unique as well please. Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

I've done that, but I don't have any more databases to test it on. At the moment, the installer creates a koha 1.2 database, then updates it to a 2.0 layout. Is there any reason why I shouldn't make the installer create a 2.0 database now? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
