yes, there are existing.

I tried with the -a option, and it was quite the same.
I just tried to delete the synd_article_pkey then restore the table
synd_article, but it didn't recreate the keys as they were. and i
don't know how to do that (as i am using mysql for my other projects
and that it seams to be more simple).

thanks,
pascal.
