I have been the recipient of a senior specialist and DUL. They know what they are doing and are invaluable in those situations where things went horribly awry. In our case we were unable to recover the data. This was not a limitation of the tool. The data was erased and over written.

This tool you have written might be a nice academic exercise, but I wouldn't make it privately or publicly available. Oracle has much deeper pockets than most people. I wouldn't want to be on the other end of a cease and desist order.
