Usage

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

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.

From MariaDB 10.4.6, mariadb-convert-table-format is a symlink to mysql_convert_table_format.

Options

mysql_convert_table_format supports the options described in the following list:

Option Description
--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 client programs. Specifying the password on the command-line is generally considered insecure.
--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.
