Re: Database

[jimd@siu.edu]

Other than using Perl or some other database access method, you can
always use the Unix "strings" command on the raw database file to see
the raw data. Some of the data displayed may appear to be garbage since
they may not be printable characters, but you should be able to at least
see whatever IS printable. You also won't be able to determine database
record numbering, but if all you want is to see if SOMETHING exists as
printable characters, then "strings" may help. Otherwise, look into Perl
which has a database "handling" capability.

Find where your database files are located, then try,

	strings <complete database filename> | more
