   Can you get any idea of what's in the database, or can you only check it   
   for a specific given one? (I. e. does it accept wildcards or anything   
   similar?)   
      
   I ask as it'd be interesting to know if it _does_ contain any _nomap   
   ones, but you can't find that out if you have to specify them exactly.   
   (Though you could make up a few to try, but that wouldn't be conclusive   
   unless you succeed.)
