There are *two* databases. One is encrypted, so calibre can't check it.

And also, I've found that the database check doesn't catch all the corruption.
I think some of the corruption leaves the database structure intact but scrambles the data itself.

I've wondered if it could check for the wal and shm files for both databases and abort if either exists. Or maybe it does already and that's not enough? Idunno.
