Is there a way for exiftools to read the tags in a Digikam database and write them to a canon raw(cr2) file. If there is something written up already to do this, a link would be great. I am fairly new to sql and linux so the simplest way to do it would be best  :D

Writing the tags with Exiftool would be easy but I don't know how to read a Digikam database.  I suggest trying a Digikam forum for that question.  To automate the process of reading the Digikam database and writing the new tags may require a bit of scripting, but if you are lucky another Digikam user may have already done this work for you.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thanx. I thought as much, but I thought I take a shot
