Hello Melvin, Thank you. Your reply is similar to the first one in that it makes assumptions to the contrary of my original e-mail. Therefore I shall tackle only the relevant bits: 1. This is not related to any existing bug. It was a corruption of the file system. 2. OID of the corrupt database was known previously. 3. If I had raw files from before the corruption, I wouldn’t have written to this mailing list. 4. There is nothing to restore, as we are not talking about backups. The original question was whether is it possible to *recover* the schema from the raw files?
