Damn, if I'd need to recreate most of my primary keys, that is going to be a major pain... I found a query to activate all indices but isn't there a way to deactivate them all in the right order to achieve the right effect?

Alright, so the remaining questions to someone with that knowledge are: - Does the problem going from 2.5.1 to 2.5.4 still only concern compound indices containing at least one NULLable (VAR)CHAR and no other indices than that? If not, what else? - Is the following code enough to rebuild a

That's very interesting! Does this behavior still exist? Is there any way to verify that? So basically, if I execute the following after moving from 2.5.1 to 2.5.4 I should be fine? SET TERM !! ; EXECUTE BLOCK AS DECLARE VARIABLE stmt VARCHAR(1000); BEGIN for select 'ALTER INDEX

All those constraints are a dependency hell. Are there any significant downsides to just using 2.5.2 for a year with the 2.5.1 database, considering 2.5.1 was working fine for me, and all I need more is the additional service_mgr functionality of making remote backups? Then in a year I can do a

I thought 2.5.2 behaves the same as 2.5.1 but now I'm running into sources that say that even 2.5.2 requires action when coming from a 2.5.1 database. Is the old info still actual that I only need those constraints that are both compound and have at least one (VAR)CHAR in them without 'NOT
