[Koha-devel] Zebra

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

2009/4/8 C W Nel <zang at zang.co.za>:
> 1) Firstly, how does Koha function with Zebra switched off?

If you're not using Zebra and turn the NoZebra system preference ON,
Koha will default to using a hand-coded Perl search engine.

> 2) What are the functions of the nozebra and the zebraqueue tables in mysql?

The nozebra table contains the bibliographic and authority record
indexes if you're not using Zebra.  Conversely, if you are using
Zebra, the zebraqueue is read by rebuild_zebra.pl and
zebraqueue_daemon.pl to identify the bibs and authorities to reindex,
and is updated whenever a bib, item, or authority records is created,
updated, or deleted.

Regards,

Galen
