Re: [EP-tech] Figuring out the highest EPrint ID?

Try the database:

mysql> SELECT MAX(eprintid) FROM eprint;

mysql> SELECT counter FROM counters WHERE counterid = 'eprintid';

 

There's probably a way to get this via an EPrints session too if you need that?

 

Cheers,

John

Subject: [EP-tech] Figuring out the highest EPrint ID?

 

Hello again!

 

New one here, related to a different project! So, I’m trying to find the HIGHEST EPrint ID that we have in our live system. I was doing this by taking the “Latest Additions” atom feed and looking at the topmost entry, however I have now realised this isn’t accurate as this could be representative of an item that has been sat in a work area for a number of weeks or even months. Is there an easy way, via endpoint or API access, that I could use to derive the highest number?
