How to use?

[DarkXonline]

Can you tell me a detail instruction on how to use the tool? Especially for windows user with little knowledge.

For example, how to arrange the msgstore.db; eg: I want to combine mgstore (6March) and mgstore (7March), how to do it? How about the naming scheme? naming it mgstore1.db for 7 March, and mgstore2.db for 6 March?

What command to make in cmd (windows) to combine it? How to define output file?

Hope you can answer this ASAP as I really on my end needs here :D Sorry for any bad English used.

You can name the databases however you want, as long as they end in .db. Just choose a folder , like desktop, and put the decrypted databases in Desktop\input subfolder. After running the tool (see README), you will find the merged database in Desktop\output.

Thanks for answering, it is working now but I got errors when merging the .db

Any fix for this one?

Are you able to modify the source code and rebuild the tool with gradlew build? If yes, I can tell you which line to modify. If not, you'll have to wait for next version

[DarkXonline]

I don't know much about modifying or building the source code, I just download the compiled binary from release page and try it out that's all :)

hello having the same issue of old db inconsistency i'm interested in creating pull request to solve this. i use to develop in java and i know a bit of gradle but i would use some guiding to update kotlin code and rebuild.

here is my error i don't know if this column is softly ignorable for consistency

[SenCodeMaker]

I builded another version disabling consistency checks but it gives me too large content error any thoughts ?

[natario1]

Can you identify which table and column gives you this error? By looking at previous logs.

After you identify it, you can exclude this column in the schema (add it to the list of excludes)

[SenCodeMaker]

ok i can try that after, i saw only messages_quotes.message_row_id and another not so important table was concerned so i skipped consistency tests.

again for the query length problem i patched with a catch in database#executeWithRows to ignore insert that don't succeed. right now it's been running for two hours. I wait and see....

[SenCodeMaker]

finally it was not able to do the job because my bases containing too much large messages and also inconsitencies maybe, it got it right directly in sql : https://github.com/SenCodeMaker/whatsapp-database-merger it much more performant also.

You can use wa-crypt-tools.
