I understand how it works, but i want the same titles not the same db structure.
Want use a "tool" to compare databases but add books by default methods.
Eg. if in DB1 is Frank Foobarsky "Foo" (100) and in DB2 is Bob Barfoosky "Bar" (100).
I need to do:
1. Generate lists (authors, titles, isbn, etc) from both DB's (in read only mode)
2. Copy missing titles to any tmp dir
3. Add all copied files to db. Even calling "calibre /tmp/foo.epub", although it is probably a better method.
Finally i got all titles on both machines, but with different ID's.
DB1 - Foo (100), Bar (101)
DB2 - Bar (100), Foo (101)
