A friend of mine have got a new cell phone number ( the old number is discarded)
How do I move all the SMSīs from his old number to the new number?

That's a bit weird. I've been swapping sims a couple of times and everything has stayed there. Did he also replace his N900 or upgrade the firmware?

The N900 doesn't care if you swap out sims. It still keeps the contacts and sms's in place.

One way I can think off is to modify the database... But that is potentially risky(it could corrupt it).

I think you misunderstand.
I have the same number in my N900 but my friend has changed number ( got a new number from his new job)

A bit risky you say?
well - I got everything backed up.
If anything get messed up, its a PoC to restore it again.

Have you added the new number as a new contact or another number on the same contact card?

I think OP means that after removing old number from his friends contact entry all the old SMSs linked to that old number are not shown.
