Might work, but I didn't test it - I only work with a local database here (not distributed to the client, only for internal company use). You can try it with an executable on your machine - if you can get hold of a copy of the corrupted database!
For more sophisticated database maintenance / correction, you may want to check the Stonefield Database Toolkit.
