Earlier today Patrick posted on this subject...
he subsequently caught that I had posted last night;  no
problem;  his heart is in the right place;  he was and is trying
to do the right thing and help the user community....  thanks,
Patrick...    :-)

After reading Patrick's post and his good questions at the end,
it strikes me that I can't think of any valid reason not to answer
one of his questions for everybody;  if I'm a little careful and do
not drift off into the specifics of "how":

While I suppose one can never say never, in the real world I
cannot imagine how one person would ever unintentionally
"stumble" all the way through this.  That does not mean it is
hard to do;  but I can say that it requires a series of actions
separate from and in addition to running DBUTIL.....  HTH
reduce the worry level for all who may be asking the same
question....
