updating billingtype and feesched

Post by Mifa » Tue Mar 20, 2012 2:15 pm

A long time ago, when we imported our data from our old PMS, I had the great idea to create a different "feesched" and "billingtype" for children under 10. Well, it turns out it was not such a bright idea... To undo it, I was thinking of running an "update patient set ... = ..." query for these two fields in the patient table in order to reset them to (our) default values. I have run the query on a test database and everything seems OK. Before I do it on our production data, can someone tell me if I am missing anything or if it is safe.

Thanks!

I'm ok with it as long as you make sure the values you are setting to are valid and as long as you have tested in your test database.

Thanks Jordan. and yes, I've checked our default values for these two fields in the patient table and will update these fields accordingly.
