SYNOPSIS

11       mysql_convert_table_format [options] db_name
12

DESCRIPTION

14       mysql_convert_table_format converts the tables in a database to use a
15       particular storage engine (MyISAM by default).
16       mysql_convert_table_format is written in Perl and requires that the DBI
17       and DBD::MariaDB Perl modules be installed (see Section 2.15, “Perl
18       Installation Notes”).
19
20       Invoke mysql_convert_table_format like this:
21
22           shell> mysql_convert_table_format [options]db_name
23
24       The db_name argument indicates the database containing the tables to be
25       converted.
26
27       mysql_convert_table_format supports the options described in the
28       following list.
29
30       •   --help
31
32           Display a help message and exit.
33
34       •   --force
35
36           Continue even if errors occur.
37
38       •   --host=host_name
39
40           Connect to the MariaDB server on the given host.
41
42       •   --password=password
43
44           The password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the
45           password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other
46           MariaDB programs.
47
48           Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
49           insecure. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password
50           on the command line.
51
52       •   --port=port_num
53
54           The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
55
56       •   --socket=path
57
58           For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.
59
60       •   --type=engine_name
61
62           Specify the storage engine that the tables should be converted to
63           use. The default is MyISAM if this option is not given.
64
65       •   --user=user_name
66
67           The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.
68
69       •   --verbose
70
71           Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
