NAME

mysql_convert_table_format - convert tables to use a given storage engine

SYNOPSIS

mysql_convert_table_format [options] db_name

DESCRIPTION

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 Section 4.20, "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 understands 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 MySQL 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 MySQL programs. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line.

Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. See Section 6.6, "Keeping Your Password Secure".

•

--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.
