I just did this sort of thing in the innodb direction. What I did was a mysql dump, global search and replace of MyISAM to InnoDB in the dump ddl file, dropped and recreated the database, then restored.

I would like to move them all into MyISAM - what's the easiest/quickest way? I am running 3.23.54. I was thinking of doing mysqldump, then using a search/replace in the file CREATE TABLE .. TYPE=, then recreating the database files using mysql, but it seems a bit heavyhanded to me ;) Thanks, John --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
