Duplicate horse

Postby BookieBuster » Thu Feb 10, 2011 2:08 pm

FYI - There are two of this horse in the database:

Aethelstan (Fr) 1922, Teddy - Dedicace


Can you figure out how to delete one of them? It is likely that both copies have offspring attached to them.

Done.

The confusion clearly arose because Aethelstan is known as Aethelstan II in the North American studbook, and has always occupied the second slot in the database. It does not appear than any other Aethelstan entry occupied the first slot, so it only takes a slip of the finger when entering a foal to create a duplicate.

Obviously this isn't ideal, but rather than switch Aethelstan's rather lengthy list of progeny over to that first entry I'll instead try to find another horse by that name to plug the gap. ;)
