Kovid is of course correct that you should not mess with metadata.db.
But his comment that messing up the database can cause complete data loss is saddening.

One of the most wonderful features of the early versions of Calibre was that everything could be reconstructed from the book folders themselves.

I'm not sure when Calibre lost that level of safety.
