I tried to update the metadata.db using sql queries but calibre wouldn't read it afterwords. It was a good thing I made a copy before starting.

When I perform big, bulk add's, I then select the "new" group in the the GUI,
Right click the grouping and select "Edit Meta-Data Individually"
That presents the Edit window for each book in the list, sequentially.
Fill in the datas and click OK
The next title appears.. Repeat until done
