You can set up a command line argument to allow the bypass and test for
it in code using the Command() function.  That's what I do to allow a
backdoor into some of my more tightly wrapped applications.

	 One method is to disable the startup from with the database
itself.  ie, have it look for a specific flag in a record, or have it
check for a specific command line argument, so that when it starts, the
startup code checks that 'trigger', and then stops...effectively
'bypassing' the startup stuff.  
	 
	========Exactly, but what I'm suggesting is that the problem may
need a change of strategy.... some "trigger" within the db itself that
knows when to reset the check -- such a "clue" may not exist.
