This does not exist (and should just require a script, no DB change I think)

This already exists in Koha

Same as #1 or there's something i've missed ?

at SQL level, we've (BibLibre) have added a reserves.reservenumber field
(see bugzilla 5872). It's a Primary key for reserves, and it's a
must-have (we should have have it for years !)
other changes are related to issuingrules, with more columns for more
granular hold rules.

ByWater has hourly loans underway, they may give some informations about
DB changes

I never worked with tmp_holdsqueue, so can't help you here.

Do you have answers to your question ?
