I have about a hundred books in the catalog with multiple authors separated by semicolons. e.g. "Larry Niven; Jean Marie Stine". I want to correct these to ampersands; e.g. "Larry Niven & Jean Marie Stine". I can do them one by one in the GUI, obviously. And it appears that if I fiddle with it I can do it to the file itself with ebook-metadata.exe . But is there a way to do it to the database AND the metadata simultaneously, the way the GUI will?
