[Koha] Documentation of database structure for Koha 1.? |

Greetings, all.
I'm working on a Koha system that I think has been heavily hacked to work in
both Arabic and English. I was told that it's version 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.2.3. Is
there any way to tell definitively? I can access the Intranet interface, but
don't see where the version information would be listed. I can also shell into
the host.
Because of the effort that went into changing this version to work in Arabic, I
don't think that there's any desire to upgrade it to the current versions.
However, if the current versions work 'out of the box' in Arabic, they could
possibly be persuaded. Any chance of this?
I'm trying to import a set of data representing items in a database of Health
Communication materials (posters encouraging people to use condoms, for
example). This data isn't in MARC format, unless I convert it myself. There's
too much material, over 1,000 items, to input them one at a time through an
acquisitions page. What advice would you offer on how to efficiently input
records like these? I'm pretty good with perl and MySQL and can transform the
records however needed.
If I wanted to just input the records directly into the MySQL tables of Koha, I
need some documentation on the tables. Do diagrams or descriptions of the
tables that make up this version of Koha exist anywhere? I'm thinking of things
like entity relationship diagrams, or relation schemas, ideally.
Thank you for all your advice and suggestions.
