Hi All
I have a database which is listed in my iidatabase catalog, but it isn't on the disk system. There is no trace of this database whatsoever under any location.
I could remove it from the catalogs using an sql iidbdb +Y connection. But I was wondering if it was possible to copy the aaaaaaaa.ext from another database , edit it to reflect the database of interest, rebuild a stub config file from that and then
hopefully perform the destroydb that we have all come to know and love.
I ask this as I'm vaguely sure I saw something somewhere that suggested that it was possible to rebuild/edit a config file using the .ext file. Can anyone shed light on that?

PS. The database was created as a test of using a readonly database as a target from a distributed database. The test did not return the database to readwrite status before attempting the destroydb.
