Dear Arun,
I found this October 2013 post today and have a question. Were you ever able to run Calibre dbdiff and the two layout files not be reported as different because non-functional data such as different access times? If so, was there a manually set -flag used to ignore the access time stamp or was dbdiff's default behavior set to ignore the last access time (or even the 'last modified' time) stamp? I cannot imagine dbdiff being effective as an equivalence checker without one of these behaviors.

Anyway, just curious how the problem was solved while using dbdiff. I had heard as well that dbdiff is much faster than a Boolean XOR using flat layout data. Has this been your experience?
Thank you.
Tom
