I think this is a little different and a source of confusion.
I think the "upload to DB" is for qtirreco, button layouts, etc. The actual remote database is hosted here

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/

you can also contact
lirc@bartelmus.de

with your added remote. More info about adding to the LIRC database is here too
