Are you sure he should?

I'd question the general need in that case

I have a number of test and experimental gnc dbs.  Export, make changes 
using whatever tool you want and then import into a clean CoA for fun

opportunity to play freely as there are no consequences, you might even 
try Sebastien's tool set.
