The metadata.db file is the database that contains all of the information that you have entered into your library. Deleting this file is essentially wiping everything you entered. You can mostly recover from deleting this file by going to Library Maintenance and selecting Restore database.
Next time calibre decides to die it would be better to run calibre from the command prompt in debug mode. I use the following.
Code:
calibre-debug -g 1> log.txt 2>&1
After it dies view the log.txt file in calibre's program directory and post the results here.
