Description

This is more of a Question than a Feature Request, I wasn't sure where to ask

What's the best way to import events from an older events.db? I've had this break too many times and would like to reconcile my events.db when I update and it inevitably breaks.

Outside of manually using sqlcipher and exporting events and manually importing them, this breaks the internal counter.

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point; begin by examining how events.db and its internal counter are handled, then compare that with the described sqlcipher export/import workflow. Done would require a defined, reliable way to import events from an older events.db without breaking the internal counter.
