[Koha-devel] about virtual shelves

[Paul POULAIN]

Owen & chris were speaking on the chat, last (my) night of virtual shelves.

2 notes on their discussion :
- I agree it's strange to have virtual shelves based on items. Unless 
i'm mistaken, it's something Steve tonnesen wrote, and, as he 
disappeared, we will never know if it was a design mistake or a good 
idea. I still vote for "designe mistake".

- about deletion of items/virtual shelves : I tried, in 
rel_3_0/updatedatabase, to define all SQL constraint to manage such 
things. So, virtual shelves entries should no more be connected to 
deleted items. However : nothing is done in 2.2 & it requires to have 
innoDB & not myIsam table structure (which updatedatabase also achieve)
