Database can not be easily migrated to another computer #12

A fully expanded filepath is stored in the database e.g. /home/freddy/.multichain/my-chain/multichain.conf.

in what table?

sqlite3 database.sqlite update datadir set dirname='targetdir'

The above works, but the last path component which is the chain name cannot change. You can move ~/.multichain/chain1 to /some/where/else/chain1 and update using sqlite3 but you can't rename chain1.

In the long-term it would be better if the datadir table did not exist at all and the path was set in the config file.
