Hey BR,
If I had any idea how to write scripts I might have :-) But for one database rebuild it didn't seem worth going to the trouble of learning how :-)
Unfortunately I don't like the flat format that Calibre uses for its database so I have to export the books as a more user friendly format. It would have been a lot easier to just point Calibre at a Calibre recognised format but Kovid has said in the past that he has no interest in allowing alternate formatting, so I have to make do with rebuilding the database like this.
Life sucks sometimes, but not having a backup at all would really suck LOL
