[Koha-devel] Koha3, loading locale data, contribs and funcionality

[Toni Rosa]

Thanks for your answer, Nicole.
I have another doubt regarding Koha 3.

I've seen that in Koha 3 (and maybe in earlier versions too) the table 
"marc_subfield_table" is gone.

Does it mean that it is not possible, anymore, to select a biblio by its 
marc subvalues only using SQL?
(Skimming over the code I see in C4/Biblio.pm that the method 
GetMarcBiblio loads a new MARC::Record from the values in 
biblioitems.marcxml, but that' would be programming, and we have some 
SQL queries in use with Koha 2.7 that use the now gone 
"marc_subfield_table" table)

Regards,
Toni
