7       engine

SYNOPSIS

10       mysql_convert_table_format [options] db_name
11

DESCRIPTION

13       mysql_convert_table_format converts the tables in a database to use a
14       particular storage engine (MyISAM by default).
15       mysql_convert_table_format is written in Perl and requires that the DBI
16       and DBD::mysql Perl modules be installed (see Section 2.15, “Perl
17       Installation Notes”).
18
19       Invoke mysql_convert_table_format like this:
20
21           shell> mysql_convert_table_format [options]db_name
22
23       The db_name argument indicates the database containing the tables to be
24       converted.
25
26       mysql_convert_table_format supports the options described in the
27       following list.
28
29       ·   --help
30
31           Display a help message and exit.
32
33       ·   --force
34
35           Continue even if errors occur.
36
37       ·   --host=host_name
38
39           Connect to the MariaDB server on the given host.
40
41       ·   --password=password
42
43           The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the
44           password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other
45           MariaDB programs.
46
47           Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
48           insecure. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password
49           on the command line.

51       ·   --port=port_num
52
53           The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.

60
61           Specify the storage engine that the tables should be converted to
62           use. The default is MyISAM if this option is not given.
63
64       ·   --user=user_name
65
66           The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.
