Create an SQL report with the following query:
SELECT COUNT(marcxml) FROM biblioitems;
And then go to the reports list. You will notice it tells you this: https://snipboard.io/5wjCUc.jpg

We already do something similar with the biblio_metadata table.

Hi all,
I was just thinking how a lot of SQL reports will return unexpected results when we merge the deleted* tables with their live/active counterparts.
What do people think about a modal popup in the reports (on a per user basis) alerting them to how they may need to update their reports following an upgrade which changes reporting behaviour?
I’m not 100% sure how we’d do it, but it’s something we could re-use through much of the Koha staff client.
Or maybe we could raise a flag in the borrower row during an upgrade, and when they log into the staff client, they’re presented with a “You need to know…” kind of page. After all, users aren’t going to be reading release notes, and sysadmins doing upgrades aren’t necessarily going to do the best job communicating to every single staff user about what they need to know in an upgrade.
But that’s easier said than done too, especially when you’re upgrading past multiple versions.
Anyway, just putting it out there. As you can see, I haven’t thought about it too deeply yet.
