Hello again,This is an usable version of my EAN13/UPC/ISBN module. It handles EAN13, ISBN13, ISBN, ISMN, ISSN, UPC and the non standard ISMN13 and ISSN13.
It validates check digits and can be used to auto generate valid numbers with correct check digits too.
It seems the the file I attached with my module, last time, got blocked from the mailing lists, I'm attaching the module once again with some extra modifications and a couple bug fixes. I'm also publishing the ftp URL here, though my ftp server it's only up when I'm connected... if anyone's interested to provide a few kilobytes of space for me to put my module, please let me know. ftp://ftp.kronuz.com/pub/programming/isn-1_0_beta.20060924.tar.bz Kronuz."Fools rush in where fools have been before" - Unknown> Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 09:48:55 -0400> From: andrew(at)dunslane(dot)net> To: grzm(at)seespotcode(dot)net> CC: kronuz(at)hotmail(dot)com; pgsql-hackers(at)postgresql(dot)org> Subject: Re: [HACKERS] ISBN/ISSN/ISMN/EAN13 module> > Michael Glaesemann wrote:> >> > On Aug 22, 2006, at 2:52 , Bruce Momjian wrote:> >> >>> >> Do we want to replace our /contrib/isbn with this, or have it pgfoundry?> >> > If contrib/isbn is made obsolete by the pgfoundry ISBN/ISSN/ISMN/EAN13 > > code, unless there's a compelling reason that the pgfoundry be part of > > the distribution, I recommend removing contrib/isbn from the core > > distribution and pointing people to pgfoundry.> >> > AFAIK there is no code currently on pgfoundry.
