Thanks! So the "source_wildcard" column also does not affect matching and its contents are not critical?

Yeah, I haven't seen it make a difference so far, unless they've finally started doing something with it. I just set it to be the same as the entity's name and leave it at that.

I was able to use that advice to merge entities 92 and 708 into 90. I did it manually for the related_entities column in excerpt, but it should be possible to automate that. I think I have a handle on doing the reverse, splitting a single entity that in the original XRAY file erroneously lists multiple people as a single person, but I see no way to automate that.

One other problem that I have run into is that if I do a round trip by dumping the database then making what should be a duplicate db by loading the dump into a new db, the kindle does not recognize that new db as a valid XRAY file. Do you know what might be happening with that?

How are you creating the new db? Are you including
Code:
PRAGMA user_version = 1;
in there somewhere? You can check, in SQLiteBrowser at least, under the Edit Pragmas section. If it's not 1, set it to 1, save, then see if it will load.

TL;DR
That worked. Thanks!

The way I made it was to run sqlite3 on the original db, then set output file to Wap.sql, did a .dump then did
sqlite3 XRAY.entities.B00JCDK5ME.asc < Wap.sql
in a directory that had no file named XRAY.entities.B00JCDK5ME.asc
As you suspected, user_version = 0

My sqlitebrowser at work has an Edit Pragmas tab, but I have no XRAY file there.

At home, sqlitebrowser doesn't have an Edit Pragmas tab so I just used sqlite3

I've updated the original post to summarize the results (XRAY file delivered by Amazon no longer broken). I've also attached a fix to the XRAY content errors for this book that I know about to that post.
