There is nothing on Mac, any OS version, that is like the Windows

The desktop DB isn't analogous, as it's based on application types and *can* be rebuilt if damaged -- it does this by (IIRC) querying all resident apps and asking them for information on filetypes they can handle. If your registry is damaged you're completely hosed. :(
