(I'd like to cram iPHOTO ver. 11 in a dark hole ... it's become a nightmare to tag my 24,000+ photos, and it's impossible to convert back to the previous version. But that's another problem for another day.)

each Metadata.db is unique.
If it is so damaged it can't be run,
You need to delete (back it up somewhere else) and "Rebuild" using The Library Maintenance" tool.
