[Koha-devel] implementation of authorised values

[Sébastien Hinderer]

Dear all,

I'm wondering how occurrences of authorised values are represented in
Koha's database.
I'm aware of the authorised_values table, but that's not my concern here.
Assume one decides to bind a Koha field to an authorised value. My
question is: what will finally be stored in that field ?
Will it be the primary key associated to the authorised value (id), or will
it be the content of the authorised_value column ?
In the latter case, if this value changes, how is it updated ?
Thanks a lot for any help,
Sébastien.
