MARIADB-CO...BLE-FORMAT(1)   MariaDB Database System  MARIADB-CO...BLE-FORMAT(1)

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-for-
     mat is written in Perl and requires that the DBI and DBD::MariaDB Perl mod-
     ules 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 follow-
     ing 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  pass-
	 word  value  is  not optional for this option, unlike for other MariaDB
	 programs.

	 Specifying a password on the command line should  be  considered  inse-
	 cure.	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.
