NAME

6       mariadb-fix-extensions - normalize table file name extensions
7       (mysql_fix_extensions is now a symlink to mariadb-fix-extensions)

SYNOPSIS

10       mysql_fix_extensions data_dir
11

DESCRIPTION

13       mysql_fix_extensions converts the extensions for MyISAM (or ISAM) table
14       files to their canonical forms. It looks for files with extensions
15       matching any lettercase variant of .frm, .myd, .myi, .isd, and .ism and
16       renames them to have extensions of .frm, .MYD, .MYI, .ISD, and .ISM,
17       respectively. This can be useful after transferring the files from a
18       system with case-insensitive file names (such as Windows) to a system
19       with case-sensitive file names.
20
21       Invoke mysql_fix_extensions like this, where data_dir is the path name
22       to the MySQL data directory.

24           shell> mysql_fix_extensions data_dir
