So, given a database table file that still has records in it, and
given the fact that these records could be parsed and displayed if the
proper utilty knew how to read the various data structures used to
denote field and record length, is there no utility to do this? I
seems that it would be fairly straight forward to somehow read the
records, yet to pay no mind to the deleted flag (or whatever mechanism
postgresql uses to mark them as deleted).
