[EP-tech] Date Record Created
Should I be concerned about the number of "empty" eprint IDs I see in the
history table?
It appears there are a lot that have two instances of "revision = 1" where
the record appears to be briefly created and then immediately destroyed and
the relevant ID is skipped over and never used. I am making sure that I
only look for "datasetid = eprint".
I don't want to get too bogged down with this because it's not the end of
the world, but I am tempted to pull on the thread and see what's going on.
Thanks,
James
