calibredb list question

I have three libraries that I sort books into. Mine, the kids, and a "mainstream" library for other family folks. I have a script that searches the database for books to check and see if they are owned or wanted. However, it only queries the database open by Calibre. Is there a way, using "calibredb list" to specify which database to search independent of which database is open by Calibre at that time?

David,
This is the command I'm using...

cmd /c calbiredb list -f title,authors --separator=~~~ --sort-by title --ascendign -s "authors:koontz"

How do I use the --with-library command with this? I'm not sure I get this. (definately a red-headed blond moment!)

Never mind I got it! It needs to come right after the list command in order to work correctly. Thanks!
