Re: [VuFind-General] items and mfhds in Voyager

[Steven M. <smc...@nl...>]

Thanks to all the responses -

Jon, I will go back and double check my SQL as I was a bit surprised  
as well. The query doesn't "break" as such, but takes as long as it  
does when using a subquery (which I want to avoid, because on our  
moderately spec'd system the subquery takes seconds to return, while  
the join comes back quick). But certainly there is something amiss  
when column specification buggers things up.

Everybody else, I guess that Voyager is (ab)used in so many different  
ways by so many institutions that just about any usage scenario is  
possible. I guess I was interested if other people would be  
interested in displaying this information in the holdings tab. From  
what I'm hearing, the answer is no, so I won't bother submitting a  
patch.
