mysql_convert_table_format - Convert Tables to Use a Given Storage Engine

mysql_convert_table_format converts the tables in a database to use a particular storage engine (MyISAM by default). mysql_convert_table_format is written in Perl and requires that the DBI and DBD::mysql Perl modules be installed (see , "Perl Installation Notes").

Invoke mysql_convert_table_format like this:

shell> mysql_convert_table_format [options]db_name

The db_name argument indicates the database containing the tables to be converted.

mysql_convert_table_format supports the options described in the following list.

• --help

  Display a help message and exit.

• --force

  Continue even if errors occur.

• --host=host_name

  Connect to the MariaDB server on the given host.

• --password=password

  The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other MariaDB programs.

  Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See , "End-User Guidelines for Password Security". You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line.

• --port=port_num

  The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.

• --socket=path

  For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.

• --type=engine_name

  Specify the storage engine that the tables should be converted to use. The default is MyISAM if this option is not given.

• --user=user_name

  The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.

• --verbose

  Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.

• --version

  Display version information and exit.
