Been using this library for a while now. Works great, I based my app https://www.lightroomdashboard.com on it

Now this is really, completely OT, but since you seem to be an expert with Lightroom catalogs, I wonder if you would know the answer to the following problem.
I had been using Lightroom 3 for a very long time, with newer cameras the RAWs of which it couldn't read, so I converted the RAW files to DNG using the Adobe utility. This was fine but used double disk space.
Now I finally upgraded Lightroom; I still have the original RAW files and was wondering if I could somehow replace the pointers to the DNGs with the original RAWs in the .lrcat catalog file; would that work, or completely break everything? (The point being, to get rid of the DNG files on disk).
