[EP-tech] Re: Possible bug in title_duplicates script?

Ah,

And of course the obvious solution would be to change the location of the first AND statement, so a patch similar to this:

    $sql .= " $Q_eprint_status=" .  $db->quote_value( "archive" ) . " AND ";

Before opening a bug report in EPrints' github, please someone do confirm that what I'm suggesting is not breaking things instead of fixing them.

Cheers,

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to see if the autocompletion feature works OK with my multilang fields (like title), and by inspecting script's code, I saw this in lines 70-80:

my $sql = "SELECT $Q_id" .
    " FROM $Q_table" .
    " WHERE ";
if ($dataset_name eq "eprint") {
    $sql .= " $Q_eprint_status=" .  $db->quote_value( "archive" );
}
$sql .= " AND $Q_id!=$id" .
    " AND $Q_field_name IS NOT NULL" .
    " AND $Q_field_name " .
    $db->sql_LIKE() .
    $db->quote_value( EPrints::Database::prep_like_value( $q ) . '%' );


As we can see, and if I'm not terribly mistaken, if $dataset_name neq "eprint", then the SQL WHERE statement is immediately followed by an AND statement, which would cause SQL to fail.

Am I missing something here or is it really a potential bug on non records not belonging to the "eprint" dataset (not sure how it would be triggered though)?
