I'm not sure whether such tool should exist to compensate for someone's carelessnes. Also any tool truly capable of unloading datafiles will soon be out of operation, due to legal circumstances: the tool will be violating licenses like no one did before. I'm sure Larry will sue the person(s) distributing the tool. Why would he give away his crown jewels?
