Hi Lars, Since 2010, a lot of things have changed and are currently going on. We are moving our code from the legacy C4 to the new Koha namespace. It might interest you to know that as I am currently moving the patron code (see bug 16846). I personally don't thing it's conceivable to implement

LARS! I have not been very involved in Koha work lately but remain a faithful lurker. The first thing that comes to mind which might be an obstacle to adopting something like this is the library of SQL reports. I think this is a collection of value that the community has created and maintains

Hi, Koha developers, some of you may remember me from the Debian packaging of Koha I made in 2010 for Catalyst IT. I've never looked much at the actual code base of Koha, but one thing that even a quick grep reveals is that SQL code is sprinkled all over the code base. To me, this indicates that
