NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

mariadb-convert-table-format [ options ] db_name

DESCRIPTION

mariadb_convert_table_format converts the tables in a database to use a particular storage engine (MyISAM by default). mariadb-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 mariadb-convert-table-format like this:

shell> mariadb-convert-table-format [ options ] db_name

The db_name argument indicates the database containing the tables to be converted.

mariadb-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.

• --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.
