Bill and Kenny: Thanks for the thread so far! In our case, no tables have been altered. The database was clean in 7.6, and when we did the "unload all" it gave us these strange messages in the resulting 9.1 database. The database works, but we'd like these to go away.
I was going to do as you suggested and drop all FKs and PKs that relate to these 6 tables and then rebuild, but now I know for sure that I'll need a backup copy of the database and compare row count at the end!
