I'll admit, I'm the queen of cut and paste. What I don't know about SQL would fill a book.
Using a report I already have on hand: SELECT ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="245"]/subfield[@code="a"]'), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="260"]/subfield[@code="a"]'),ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="260"]/subfield[@code="c"]'), monthname(datecreated) AS month, year(datecreated) AS year, biblionumber AS biblionumber FROM biblio LEFT JOIN biblioitems b USING (biblionumber) WHERE datecreated BETWEEN <<Between (yyyy-mm-dd)>> AND <<and (yyyy-mm-dd)>> I tried to add some fields as per a request from one of our staff who would like a rather thorough list of items added to the catalogue within a time frame. SELECT ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag=“100”]/subfield[@code="a"]'), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="245"]/subfield[@code="a"]'), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="245"]/subfield[@code=“b”]’), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="245"]/subfield[@code=“c”]’), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="260"]/subfield[@code="a"]'), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag=“773”]/subfield[@code=“t”]’), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag=“773”]/subfield[@code=“g”]’), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="260"]/subfield[@code=“b”]’), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag="260"]/subfield[@code="c"]'), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag=“300”]/subfield[@code=“a”]’), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag=“020”]/subfield[@code=“a”]’), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, '//datafield[@tag=“022”]/subfield[@code=“a”]’), ExtractValue(b.marcxml, monthname(datecreated) AS month, year(datecreated) AS year, biblionumber AS biblionumber FROM biblio LEFT JOIN biblioitems b USING (biblionumber) WHERE datecreated BETWEEN <<Between (yyyy-mm-dd)>> AND <<and (yyyy-mm-dd)>> The first report works. The second doesn't. I'm sure it's a syntax error, or something like that, but I'm blundering around in the dark. Her request was for the following info: 100 field = Author | 245 = Title proper (including subtitles and statement of responsibility) | 773(?) = Periodical title |260 = place, publisher, and date | 300 = Extent | 020 = ISBN / 022 = ISSN Can anyone help? -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.
