NAME 🖥️ mariadb-convert-table-format 🖥️

convert-table-format - convert tables to use a given storage engine (mysql_convert_table_format is now a symlink to mariadb-convert-table-format)

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::MariaDB Perl modules be installed (see Section 2.15, “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 supports 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 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 MariaDB programs.

Specifying a password on the command line should be considered insecure. You can use an option file to avoid giving the password on the command line.

**–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.

The MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.
