dbc tables and tag repository:

CLOSE DATABASES ALL
USE HOME(2)+'Northwind\northwind.dbc' IN 0 ALIAS dbc NOUPDATE 

SELECT T.ObjectName table,I.ObjectName Tag  FROM dbc T JOIN dbc  I ON T.ObjectId = I.ParentId;
WHERE T.objecttype == 'Table' AND I.objecttype == 'Index'

Of course, the whole table/index files would be able not to exist or to be corrupt
