Description Petr Schonmann 2025-07-06 13:09:30 UTC

Hi, 
im facing problem that i have digikam db in mysql and all databases share one database called digikam and i dont want to backup thumbs for example, but only unsefull data. Is there some tool or command(s) that create databases and move existing tables to right databases as described for example > https://docs.digikam.org/en/getting_started/database_intro.html# where every DB has own DB ( btw default setting button do that digikam has same name for all databases, not as described on the image. )

I don't understand your needs here. Please explain better...

I don't think this is something that's hard-wired into digiKam.
It's more likely to be handled by an external script or something similar.

I agree with Maik, This is not a low level database maintenance task for a program as digiKam...
