[Refdb-users] Numbers only in PY?

[Daniel O'D. <dan...@ul...>]

Hi,

Just checking I've got this right...

My legacy data has a number of entries with ranges in PY (e.g. 1883-1920
or 1933-). When refdb assigns the CK field it treats these as nd.

I have two questions:

1) How would people recommend handling works with a range as a PY?

2) Am I right that, in mysql at least, searches for non-numerical
characters in PY don't work? I keep getting errors when I try something
like getref :PY:~-  or getref :PY:~\- or getref :PY:~[-] getref :PY:=-

I was doing (2) to try an identify the records that have the problematic
- in PY.
