Short description:

Manual page and help for the mysql_fix_extensions linux command. Mysql_fix_extensions converts extensions to MyISAM (or ISAM) table files to their canonical form. It searches for files with extensions that match any of the fonts for .frm, .myd, .myi, .isd, and .ism, and renames them to .FRM, .MYD, .MYI, .ISD, and .ISM. This can be useful after files have been moved from a system that was not case-sensitive (such as Windows), a system that has case-sensitive file names.

NAME
       mysql_fix_extensions - normalize table file name extensions

SYNOPSIS
       mysql_fix_extensions data_dir

DESCRIPTION
       mysql_fix_extensions converts the extensions for MyISAM (or ISAM) table files to
       their canonical forms. It looks for files with extensions matching any lettercase
       variant of .frm, .myd, .myi, .isd, and .ism and renames them to have extensions of
       .frm, .MYD, .MYI, .ISD, and .ISM, respectively. This can be useful after transferring
       the files from a system with case-insensitive file names (such as Windows) to a
       system with case-sensitive file names.

       Invoke mysql_fix_extensions like this, where data_dir is the path name to the MySQL
       data directory.

           shell> mysql_fix_extensions data_dir
