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

Prior to MariaDB 10.5, the client was called mysql_convert_table_format. It can still be accessed under this name, via a symlink in Linux, or an alternate binary in Windows.

Usage

mariadb-convert-table-format [options] db_name

Description

mariadb-convert-table-format is written in Perl and requires that the DBI and DBD::mysql Perl modules be installed

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.

Options

mariadb-convert-table-format supports the options described in the following list:

OptionDescription
-?, --helpDisplay help and exit.
-e, --engine=ENGINESpecify the storage engine that the tables should be converted to use. The default is MyISAM if this option is not given.
-f, --forceContinue even if errors occur.
-h, --host=host_nameConnect to the MariaDB server on the given host. Default localhost.
-p, --password=passwordThe password to use when connecting to the server. Note that the password value is not optional for this option, unlike for other client programs. Specifying the password on the command-line is generally considered insecure.

-S, --socket=pathFor connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.
-u, --user=user_nameThe MariaDB user name to use when connecting to the server.
