Happy camper now.
Rebuilding the indexes with Sqlite DB Browser was painless.
Code:
REINDEX analytics_events_timestamp
Query executed successfully: REINDEX analytics_events_timestamp (took 92ms)
REINDEX sqlite_autoindex_AnalyticsEvents_1
Query executed successfully: REINDEX sqlite_autoindex_AnalyticsEvents_1 (took 764ms)
Run the Kobo Utilities "Check the Device Database"
Code:
Result of running 'PRAGMA integrity_check' on database on the Kobo device:
ok
Unplug and re-plug. Saw no error messages. I can see the proper .sqlite and .zip file in my backups directory as it used to be.
