Well, since it was somewhat urgent, I did it by creating a new table,
but as renaming a table seems to be something you cannot do without
manipulating the system tables, I created a third table with the
name of the original table and copied the "temp" table into it.

Just the question remains: Is it possible to "move" the primary key
within an existing table? (I remember I had to do this already a
couple of times in the past few years.)

Thanks,
