Is it safe to replace one SNOMED edition with another?

Management and Administration
#1

I have installed SNOMED CT International Edition followed by the US Edition. Now I find that it isn’t the US edition that is desired but the International Edition. Is it safe to install the International Edition over the top of the US Edition?

Thanks

I’d clean out the table for all the past installs beings you are capable of doing the procedure. You will probably end up with an intermixing of US and International otherwise!

#3

Is the following how I would achieve that please?

Empty the following tables:
sct2_concept
sct2_description
sct2_identifier
sct2_relationship
sct2_statedrelationship
sct2_textdefinition
standardized_tables_track

DELETE FROM standardized_tables_track WHERE name=“SNOMED”;

Thanks

Yes, empty or drop tables sct2_*
DELETE FROM standardized_tables_track WHERE name=“SNOMED”; is Ok.
