Thanx to everyone who responded to my above query.  The solutions varied
from as simple as using \nocite{*} command to as complex as using a 
special purpose shell script.  I found using \nocite{*} to be the 
easiest thing.  All you have to do is to create a dummy file containing
only the above command and process it using LaTeX as regular files.
For example this dummy file may look like :

\documentstyle[12pt,fullpage]{article}
\textheight  8.5 in
\textwidth 6.5 in
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliography{name-of-bibliography-database}
\end{document}
