[Koha-devel] SQL statements for RDA (MARC21)

[David Cook]

Hey Stefano:

I think this activity can be really hit or miss. While RDA has spurred many
of us to update our frameworks, there have actually been a lot of other
changes to MARC that have happened over the past few decades, which might
not be as obvious or well described.

Honestly, I'd suggest downloading the latest marc21_framework_DEFAULT.sql
from the master branch, deleting the default framework in the database, and
then repopulating using marc21_framework_DEFAULT.sql as it should be the
most up-to-date framework available. 

I wrote a tool a while ago that would update other frameworks off of this
master default framework, but... I haven't maintained it as there wasn't
much call for updated frameworks.

Running marc21_framework_DEFAULT.sql overtop of an existing default
framework is OK in that it will add any missing fields and subfields, but it
won't make changes to existing fields/subfields.
