I've had several people suggest a topic for the IBDH along the lines of...

"We need a topic that describes the structure of the database so that I can
open the .gdb with a suitable editor and retrieve good data from a corrupt
database."

In my high-handed way, I've tended just to say to myself "Pooph! another
of THOSE!" I've always assumed (rightly or wrongly) that it would be like
looking for a needle in a haystack, given the relative randomness of
storage of rows, never mind tables, indexes, etc.

But - is there any way?
