Tino,

Actually, your job isn't as straight forward as that :(.... you don't have 
a straight 4.x database... IIRC your database was partially updated a few 
months into development.  The best thing I think would be for you to get a 
good GUI manager, create a blank database with all the Expresso components 
installed, and start looking at table differences.  Keep the Expresso 
changelog at your side because that will give you details where most of the 
changes took place.

Good luck!
