Change engine to all tables in a MySQL database
Here is a simple shell script to change the engine of all the tables in a MySQL database:
DBUSER=user DBPWD=password DBNAME=db ENGINE=MyISAM for t in `echo "show tables" | mysql -u$DBUSER -p$DBPWD --batch --skip-column-names $DBNAME`; do mysql -u$DBUSER -p$DBPWD $DBNAME -e "ALTER TABLE \`$t\` ENGINE = $ENGINE;"; done
Just because, as usual, I keep forgetting these kind of things…
