MySQL and database compare.
#1
Hopefully I'm in the correct forum, but if not, please direct me to the proper one.  Thanks.

My question would be for someone very familiar with MySQL and database issues.  I am in the process of rebuilding my RAID6 array (8x4TB) after multiple Seagate drive failures in the past few months.  I am replacing the drives with HGST enterprise drives (5 yr warranty).  I got a glimpse of my former array before the rebuild started and it appeared that there could be up to 3TB of data missing.  I have over 3000 video files stored on the array so manually checking which ones may be missing would be extremely time consuming.

I have not opened KODI 18.9 since the drive failure because I know that (once the array is again readable) KODI will clean the database to show only the available movies.  Is there any way that I can compare two databases (by making a copy of the existing database before restarting KODI), letting KODI clean the original database, and then, by doing the database compare, create a list of the movies that are missing from the recovered and cleaned database.

I'm a TOTAL noob when it comes to MySQL functions so, if you have the time, please lay out the procedure (if it is even possible) step by step.  Thank you.
