Also notice that the "empty" database you linked is not really empty, it contains the database structure and even some data.

Among the tables is the "DbVersion" table, with a single column "version", and a single rows which equals 125 in your dataset and 175 in my Kobo.

So I'm afraid to break it if I put it in, being a later version.
Thanks,, I'll be sure to re-test.. .but it's completely unecessary now.

Open the .kobo/kobo/Kobo eRader.conf file with a file editor that respects Unix Text file format, (Notepad++ recommended for Windows. Note this is something you can download, and is *not* the same the Notepad that comes with Windows.)

In the [ApplicationPreferences] section, add the line:
SideloadedMode=true

Save, eject Kobo, and reboot Kobo.

FYI, "Empty" database in this case meant a database that Kobo re-creates if it's deleted, with the blank user added. I meant only empty the sense that there was no account info and no books metadata.
