Hi Nuku, there are some database diagrams but I'm not sure how useable they are for your purposes. See http://open-ils.org/documentation/evergreen-schema-1.4.0.2.html There are many ways to load patrons into Evergreen, but there is nothing standardized. Project Conifer has their migration scripts available in the Evergreen Contrib repository here, and they may prove helpful: http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS-Contrib/browser/conifer/trunk/tools/migration-scripts I believe some of the other academic Evergreen libraries have scripts and processes for synchronizing patrons with external databases that they may be willing to share. And I'd be happy to answer any specific questions you have about the database schema. Let us know if this helps! -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Community Support and Advocacy | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ja...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
