I recommend you try getting accustomed to using the screwdriver as a 
screwdriver, and not as a hammer. It may be a little frustrating at first, 
but before long it will give better results.
I don't know in which table the workflow definition is stored, but I've only 
worked with ABAP and Business Workflow for eight years so perhaps someone 
with more experience has bothered to find out.

Not sure why you use SWDD, but perhaps that's what you need. You're not saying 
why you "search around". In general I would recommend using either SE81 or 
SWDM if you need to search for a workflow.

There's always transaction SE16 ... :-)
Look at table SWWIHEAD, it may give you what you want with respect to this.
