#20 Retreiving Serie Titles from the database

[Anonymous]

I know that it implies many changes in the database and
in the code but retreiving Series Titles from the
database can be useful.

A serie title is generally used many times so that can
be helpful for using lists in a GUI.

I hope you understand my english.

I'm not sure whether I understand this correctly. Retrieving
datasets by the series title is a matter of using something
like:

getref :T3:~titleword

However, if you have something in mind like the getjo
command to retrieve periodical names, then indeed there is
no command to do this yet. Implementing a getti (or
whatever) command is straightforward and does not require
any changes to the database structure. I can add this to my
todo list.

Yes I have in mind a getti command but only for serie title.
It can help for example when an user want too add a serie of
comic book using a form. He can then choose the serie from a
list.

I talk about database changes to prevent redundancy. Maybe
it's not necessary.

Ok, now I understand. You'd like the series title to be
treated like a journal title. This is possible, but it would
indeed require a change in the database structure. While I'm
at it, wouldn't it make sense to treat book titles all the
same? I'm thinking about articles in proceedings or chapters
in books.

I don't think retriving book chapters is really interesting
due to the large amount of book in a database. It may be
used to avoid different titles for an unique book
