Hi Michael, I wouldn't worry _too_ much. That announcement was about security updates. If you notice a security update for a more recent version, update then (to 1.8 or 4, whichever you feel up to). You would have to do practically the same process to update to 1.7.x+1 as to 1.8.y+1, so it's no big deal. > 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') Unless your predecessor messed with the metadatafieldregistry table directly, by default metadata_field_id='12' means dc.date.available. One problem with the query which will cause it to report a higher number of items than there actually are is in cases where you edit an item and it gets two or more metadata values of the field dc.date.accessioned. Likewise, if that metadata value is removed somehow, the item won't be counted. In other words, you're counting number of values of a certain metadata field and you're expecting to get number of items. That can be most easily fixed by subqueries - make a list of item_ids first and then look up values of a metadata field for them (or any other information like community membership). > Can anyone suggest a tweak to the SQL query that might give me numbers more > in line with what DSpace reports?

IIRC, every item in DSpace will have an issued date (and unless you adda nother value manually, there should be only one). > 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.
