[Zope] replay transactions?

[Chris McDonough]

Kyler.. if you haven't packed the database and you're using FileStorage,
it's very possible to truncate the Data.fs at a point before the
offending transaction was performed.

See this howto:  http://www.zope.org/Members/itamar/CorruptedZODB for
the basics... it will be difficult to tell exactly where to truncate the
Data.fs, espcially since there are an indeterminate number of
transactions since the offending one, because Tranalyzer outputs
everything in a very raw format.  Apparently, Toby Dickenson has
modified the Tranalyzer to be slightly more friendly and verbose, and
his version is available here:
http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/tranalyzer .  It will still be a pain,
sorry.
