Yes, this db is restored on every new version for nearly 5 years now :)

Done see below

Actually, I can't even edit the dump 'cause it's 3.5G uncompress, xemacs
gives up at 2G :-(

I've reload the dump on a 8.2.5 then ran adddepend.pl, took a dump and
reloaded it on a 8.3beta2, and have less but still errors.

What do I loose if I leave it as is, I guess I'll miss a few foreign keys,
is there an easy way to know which?

Is there a query I can use to know all the unamed trigger, delete them and
recreate with the right sentence?
