No: generate database DML scripts, create new database using these scripts and use a database pump utility to copy data from the old to the new. No need to start from scratch.

That was true waaaaay back at Firebird 1.0 and (marginally but not advisedly) at Firebird 1.5. We are talking 15 years of Firebird development here, 5 major releases and thus, 5 ODS changes, to arrive at 2.5.something.
