Thanks Tux. I really appreciate all the time you put into the reply -- alot to chew on.

One thing that really struck me tho;
"I don't know how modern mysql supports serial and bigserial."
This, coming from someone who opens with:
"deal with Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Unify almost daily" ;)
Sorry, I couldn't resist. ;)

Seriously. +'s to you. A great reply, and one I'll be relying on during the conversion.
