   Since you are settling on a recovery strategy that few other people   
   would consider, I'm afraid that you are quite much on your own.   
      
   Beside the fact that fn_dblog being undocumented, you are also relying   
   on that there are some rows left around in the log after a write operation.   
   This is something that could change over time.
