Hi kovidgoyal,
Thank you for your quick reply. Yes, I would like to change the series name of a book that already exists in the library. If it is possible to specify the series index within same command, what is the way to do it?

metadata.db file location: E:\y\A
Details of the book:
book id: 2483
series name: "A dzsungel veszélyes hely"
series index:1

This is the order I issued:
"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredb" set_metadata --with-library "E:\y\A" --field "series:A dzsungel veszélyes hely [1]"

I got this error message:
You must specify a record id as the first argument

p.s. It worked, it was the right order:
"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredb" set_metadata --with-library "E:\y\directory\A" --field "series:A dzsungel veszélyes hely [1]" 2483
