Off the top of my head I cannot figure out anything that should break in
Emilda, if you add more columns. I however cannot guarantee, so if
something fails, dont take it so hard ;-)
do i have to alter also other table "deleted_books" accordingly and are
As emilda is unaware of your changes, it will not copy over your custom
data, so in that sense it is useless.
those fields transferred accordingly ?
if not do i have to patch something not to disturb ?
anything more to obeye ?
Not really. I cannot quite remember your initial reasoning behind using
external printing and label management, but maybe this is not the right
time to discuss that. If you want to be entirely sure, I would suggest
that you use a separate table to gather your custom data, and then only
in your external program link it into the Emilda tables. This is however
only an idea!
Please let us know how it went ;-)
Greetings!
