Not necessarily ... DBUNLOAD will optionally unload in SERIAL manner ...
which will not preserve the chronology of the entries in chains.

A chained (non-SERIAL) DBUNLOAD followed by a DBLOAD would preserve
chronology of the chains (although individual entries in different
chains may not be in the same order, relative to each other afterwards).

But...I'm not sure because of one word: ADAGER.  I haven't used DBLOAD/DBUNLOAD
for a longggg time.
