There is a sqlite viewer here:
https://inloop.github.io/sqlite-viewer/

it says it doesn't upload files. I just tried it. It works. You select 
the table that contains your tags and the tags-tree if needed and here 
they are. You can export to CSV.

How you get them into the new database I don't know. But at least you 
get the list from there.
