If you want to use sed, you need to redirect the output to another file
(assuming your command above otherwise works, but doesn't make files):

sed -e 's/86400/30/' db.file > db.temp.file

Then you can go through and delete the orig files, and rename the files you
just created to the original name.  More on that if you still need help.
