    Err...

    No offence, but if you don't understand hex representation, you're going to find the raw page dumps near impossible to decode.

    You might want to first read up on hexadecimal and binary and how they're represented. Wiki should have something decent.

    0x30 = 00110000 expressed in binary. It's the first byte of the header. So bits 4 and 5 are 1 and all the others are 0. Those two bits been set to 1 tell me (comparing against the structure of the DB header) that the row has a null bitmap (bit 4) and variable length columns (bit 5)

    That makes sense, Im just rusty, I will dig up my notes on oct, hex and binary number representation.

    thanks.
