MYSQL_CONVERT_TAB(1)         MySQL 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.
       o   --help
           Display a help message and exit.
       o   --force
           Continue even if errors occur.
       o   --host=host_name
           Connect to the MySQL server on the given host.
       o   --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
           MySQL programs.
           Specifying a password on the command line should be considered
           insecure. See Section 5.3.2.2, "End-User Guidelines for Password
           Security". You can use an option file to avoid giving the password
           on the command line.
       o   --port=port_num
           The TCP/IP port number to use for the connection.
       o   --socket=path
           For connections to localhost, the Unix socket file to use.
       o   --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.
       o   --user=user_name
           The MySQL user name to use when connecting to the server.
       o   --verbose
           Verbose mode. Print more information about what the program does.
       o   --version
           Display version information and exit.
