I will start putting together some basic guidlelines on what to do when
someone has a suspected corruption ie get on the mailing lists and
start asking questions, what constitutes a sensible question, what not
to do etc. I will keep it very basic to start with and we will see
where it goes from there.
If anyone has any sugestions on things that would be good to add to a
database recovery chapter then let me know and I will add it to the list.
