Title: Duplicate manufacturer
Post by: archived on March 14, 2006, 04:08:05 am

When adding a new device I created a duplicate Manufacturer by error. How can I delete the duplicate entry?

You can delete it from database. Open a MySQL console or a MySQL client and run:

Code: [Select]


use pluto_main;

SELECT PK_Manufacturer, Description FROM Manufacturer WHERE Description LIKE '%your_name_here%';


This will return the primary key of the records from database. Then delete the duplicate records using:

Code: [Select]

DELETE FROM Manufacturer WHERE PK_Manufacturer=X;
with X the primary key returned by SELECT query.

Be aware that if that manufacturer is used as foreign key for a device template, for example, by deleting it you will have an invalid key which will cause sqlCVS, the tool who make database syncronization, to crash.
You can check this with a query like:

Code: [Select]

SELECT * FROM DeviceTemplate WHERE FK_Manufacturer=X;
