On the now un-supported version 1.7, no less! I am in a one-year position, replacing someone on career break, and as part of my job have inherited an instance of DSpace. Just before he left, my predecessor wrote an SQL query that was supposed to allow me to generate some statistics that would be requested of me. This was the query:
select metadatavalue.item_id, SUBSTR(text_value,0,10) ,community.name from metadatavalue, communities2item, community where metadatavalue.item_id = communities2item.item_id and communities2item.community_id=community.community_id and metadata_field_id = '12' and metadatavalue.item_id in (select item_id from item where in_archive = '1') The results were exported to an Excel spreadsheet, which I sorted by Collection name, then by date. I have used this to report, for example, the number of items added to a given collection in a given date range. Now I notice that the total number of items in a given collection, according to this report, does not match the total reported in DSpace for that collection, when browsing by Issue Date. For the collection in question, the Excel spreadsheet has 244 total items, while DSpace reports a total of 369. In contrast, the total number of items in the Excel spreadsheet is 5397, while browsing all of DSpace by Issue Date reports 2442 items. Can anyone suggest a tweak to the SQL query that might give me numbers more in line with what DSpace reports? Or is browsing by Issue Date not a good way to see the total number of items in a collection? I believe the SQL query is looking at dc.date.available, not dc.date.issued, but I wouldn't expect the discrepancy in total numbers that I'm seeing.
