MYSQL_CONVERT_TAB(1)               MariaDB Database System              MYSQL_CONVERT_TAB(1)

NAME
       mysql_convert_table_format - convert tables to use a given storage engine

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::mysql 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.

       •   --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.
