OK, I think I should give it a try.

OK, done.

This is something I would like to avoid. Because the database has 12 tables
with 3 to 17 fields in each. It has been build by hand with Valentina Studio
as the project progressed. That is too much work to recreate it by hand and
be sure not to miss a flag.

I tried to dump the structure as sql, create a new database and import the
dump, but this crashes valentina studio. Just tried with XML dump of
structure and it seems to work. I'll continue in this direction.

Apart from the crash of vstudio when loading sql dump, no.

I have to convert my original database. It is filled with thousands of
records which I won't enter again by hand in a new fresh database.
