@dwanthny: I thought that was the correct syntax, too. It didn't work, but this did:

Starson17 can you give me the correct syntax?
See above.

Also, thanks for the hint to use the database directly. i'll try that.
I'm glad it worked for you. Don't try to change anything in the database, but you can read things (it works in Windows, also, and you will find some early posts from me on duplicate finding on doing this).

It's also possible to execute Python code directly. When I wrote the Merge code and the Automerge code, I had to cycle through the formats in the formats field, so there are tools to do it with Calibre that can be used without directly accessing the database, if you need that.
