[EP-tech] How to delete succeeds-field?

[yurj at alfa.it (Yuri)]

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Usually I set it to null in the database on the eprint referring it.

 update eprint set succeeds=NULL where eprintid=XXXXX;

I think Eprints does not check if the predecessor/successor is in a valid state.

Hi all,

due to the fact, that EPrints obviously could not handle an entry, whose predecessor is gone for some reason, I like to delete the faulty link. But an import of an empty field is rejected :(
How to get rid of the link? I would be glad to avoid any manipulation of the data base :)

Many thanks for any idea in advance
Thomas

BTW: I will check how to get into this situation later ...
