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.)
