I accidentially deleted all SMS of one contact. So I went to a backup of two days earlier, opened /home/nemo/.local/share/commhistory/commhistory.db in sqlite3 and extracted the relevant rows:

.mode insert Events
.output foo.sql
select * from Events where type = 2 and remoteUid LIKE '%12345';

I copied the resulting foo.sql to my Jolla and imported it with

sqlite3 /home/nemo/.local/share/commhistory/commhistory.db < foo.sql

and the new rows are definitely there and were not there before.

However, they are not shown in the messaging app. Do I need to copy more, or update some kind of index?

I found the problem. The Events table references the Group table using the groupId column. Because I deleted all SMS of that contact it got assigned a new group later.

I was able to fix it by issuing

update Events set groupId = 116  where type = 2 and remoteUid LIKE '%12345';

on my Jolla. Now all SMS are back.
