Thanks.  That sounds much easier and faster than exporting everything, which has proven sort of unreliable in the past.  Know where I can find a reliable data pump utility?

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.

Ah...  thanks for that info.....   So, export all the data and rebuild from scratch is the way to go?

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.
