MySQL Converting from MyISAM to InnoDB Converting All Tables in one Database
Example
To easily convert all tables in one database, use the following:
SET @DB_NAME = DATABASE();
SELECT CONCAT('ALTER TABLE `', table_name, '` ENGINE=InnoDB;') AS sql_statements
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema = @DB_NAME
AND `ENGINE` = 'MyISAM'
AND `TABLE_TYPE` = 'BASE TABLE';
NOTE: You should be connected to your database for
DATABASE()function to work, otherwise it will returnNULL. This mostly applies to standard mysql client shipped with server as it allows to connect without specifying a database.
Run this SQL statement to retrieve all the MyISAM tables in your database.
Finally, copy the output and execute SQL queries from it.
