Hi,

I have a library of 87000 book, (yes my wife calls me an electronic hoarder), I loaded Calibre and it said my database was corrupt do you want to repair it. I said yes, it failed. Shut Calibre down and reopened it had the same issue, tried repairing again, it failed. Search around and found a thread from 2017 where you gave a command line database fix, it didn’t work either. If I create a new library and import the directory of books from the corrupt one will the metadata transfer also?

Thanks bunches,
Mark
