Upgrade notes

When upgrading from a version prior to 3.7 you may encounter errors due to duplicate patient identifiers. To assit you in removing duplicates you can use the following query which will append '-duplicate' to any duplicate patient ID's or national patient identifiers.

UPDATE patient 
SET 
   patientid = patientid||'-duplicate-'||id
WHERE 
   id in (SELECT id
      FROM patient a
      WHERE a.patientid = (SELECT patientid 
                   FROM patient 
                   WHERE patientid = a.patientid and patientid != '' 
                        GROUP BY patientid 
                    HAVING count(*) > 1) 
      AND  a.id != (SELECT min(patient.id) 
            FROM patient 
            WHERE patientid = a.patientid 
                GROUP BY patientid 
                HAVING count(*) > 1));

UPDATE patient 
SET 
   idnum = idnum||'-duplicate-'||id
WHERE 
   id in (SELECT id
      FROM patient a
      WHERE a.idnum = (SELECT idnum 
               FROM patient 
               WHERE idnum = a.idnum and idnum != '' 
                      GROUP BY idnum 
                  HAVING count(*) > 1) 
      AND  a.id != (SELECT min(patient.id) 
            FROM patient 
            WHERE idnum = a.idnum 
                GROUP BY idnum 
                HAVING count(*) > 1));
