If you have all the other files that make up the database, how do you create a .db file?

Assuming you have a valid structure file, you can recreate the control area with prostrct builddb.  

But you may lose some of the database's prior configuration.  If you had areas assigned to ABP, that setup is lost and would have to be set up again.  I think some OE Replication state is also written in the control area.
