A new Koha Offline Circulation client has been written by Kyle M Hall in C++/Qt4.
Unfortunately, it requires an SQLite3 databse, where the PHP/Gtk client needs an SQLite2 database.
This update adds the switches --sqlite2 and --sqlite3 to the script to output either format.
The Offline Circ tool by Kyle Hall uses PHP's SQLite, which is SQLite
v2. Gnope, which Kyle links, ships with libSQLite v2.
Let's not count on libsqlite3 not being installed for perl. If it is
installed DBD::SQLite will use it, where DBD::SQLite2 will not.

Reduce the size of the SQLite database produced by
create_koc_db.pl by emiting only the columns
actually used by Kyle Hall's offline circ client.

The offline circulation tool can use all of the patron information, not just their ID
numbers. This patch populates the offline circulation database with patron information.

This is the script that generates the patron and holdings database for the offline circ module. I
touched up a few parts of it:
* fixed the database syntax to squash a bug or two
* extracted some methods for readability and reuse
* added some documentation
* added a --file and --force command line argument
* made it die if DBD::SQLite is not present. That module is required for this feature.
Here's an example crontab line that will generate the borrowers.db file each midnight.
0 0 * * * create_koc_db.pl --file /tmp/borrowers.db

This script generates a sqlite database of patron and holdings data for the offline circulation tool.
It's a cronjob, so it should go into misc/cronjobs
