Update from O.8.7 to 0.8.8, library now corrupt?
Last night I updated from 0.8.7 to 0.8.8 and now when I try to open Calibre I get the following message:
Your Calibre database appears to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try and repair it automatically? If you say No, a new empty calibre library will be created. and then when I show details I get this Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 215, in initialize_db File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 194, in __init__ File "site-packages\calibre\library\schema_upgrades.py", line 24, in __init__ File "site-packages\calibre\library\schema_upgrades.py", line 611, in upgrade_version_20 File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 308, in run DatabaseException: duplicate column name: link RemoteTraceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 268, in run OperationalError: duplicate column name: link I try to repair the database and it fails to do so. Is there anything I can do to get it to open my calibre library? I have nearly 3000 books in it, and I don't want to have to re-add them all to a new library. |

Thank you! I ran the debug cmd prompt from the other thread and it fixed my main library.
Only one issue, now Calibre doesn't remember the other libraries I had. When I go to switch library, there are no other libraries listed. How can I get Calibre to find the other libraries? |

Use switch/create library and enter the path to the library.

Your database corruption has nothing to do with the update. You need to use the restore database feature in calibre. delete the metadata.db file, then start calibre, it will show a blank book list. Click the arrow next to the calibre icon and select Library Maintenenace->Restore Library
