[Koha-devel] RFC: Koha : Merge biblio & biblioitems tables

[Ryan Higgins]

Yes, the marc column was excluded intentionally, since marcxml is
authoritative.
I don't really like keeping two copies in there, but if it's useful, we can
keep it.
As far as I know, Koha uses marcxml exclusively internally now, and the only
reason to keep marc would be for faster dumps (though I'd rather dump the
authoritative version of the data)

What do others think ?
