---- Reported by cmurdock@ccfls.org 2007-04-10 02:40:58 ----

bulkmarcimport.pl should check for duplicate barcodes before importing into Koha.  This probably applies to all versions of Koha.

what kind of checking ?
- reading the whole file to import & report any problem before doing anything ?
- do the import but report clearly duplicate barcode (and importing them, so you may have some barcode twice, but it can be fixed manually with the error list) ?

I think the 2nd would be easier to do & faster, & probably more interesting, as we could write a specific script to detect duplicate that could be run anytime

2nd would probably be fine, with maybe a command line option to not import duplicates.

bumping up to 3.0

This has been partly addressed, but we need more fine-grained control over what to do in case of a match ... re-assigning to Galen.

This bug should be fixed before the 3.0 beta.

I'm going to close this as it looks old, and bulkmarcimport definitely does check for duplicate barcodes by default.
