@windom - as the others have said, nothing "bone-headed" about it. People use calibre in lots of different ways, whatever works for you. My own workflow involves multiple databases, but as I do my cleanup in the "clean" database and it is one author at a time I'm never in a situation of having duplicates between libraries.
My initial repsonse to this request a few months would have been "it isn't technically possible" under the understanding that calibre is a "one library at a time" system. However I know Kovid responded a few weeks ago to another thread in these forums discussing cross library database access stuff (perhaps in the Development forum?) where he indicated actually it is "possible", at least for some functionality.
However given that Kovid is still working on replacing the back-end layers of calibre and deprecating some of the API along the way I have no intentino of creating even more work for myself down the line by looking into this now. Perhaps when that is released I (or someone else) can revisit it to see what would be involved/possible.
