You will appreciate that there is not nearly enough detail here to even try replicating.,. (What firmware versions, what SQL kludge, etc...).. in any case, the I think you are mistaken. Not about the sequence of events, but cause and effect. Kobo forcing a Factory reset is almost certainly to be because of an error reading the root partition, or very corrupt filesystem on the user partition. If there is a critical error with the database, kobo simply deletes and re-creates it. (Errr, assuming it doesn't not detect the problem and does other weird thinks like not save book positions, )
