    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.

    restore - error trigger (3)

    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.
