Far more stable than any of the 7.23 versions were! Yes 7.31UC2 seems to be rock solid to me. You will have to run through a complete update statistics suite after the upgrade and should probably rebuild all of your indexes to avoid a problem with the new buffer priority code which depends on index page type flags that 7.2x was not diligent about maintaining since it did not use them for anything.

Yes, any constraints that create/use indexes (ie primary, foreign, unique). Art S.
