If you want to fix the Operator in your DXBase database that's fine and = it's a good idea. But it is not necessary to use LoTW for all of your = callsigns. You can use the Selection Wizard and the dates filter to obtain the adif files you need to update LoTW. The callsign reported to LoTW is the one = you sign the file with. You will need a certificate for each callsign.

If you have DXBase open = when you make changes in the database with Access 2000, the changes *are* = made. At least with DXB2004, it worked that way for me. As always, back up, back up, back up....
