MySql - Convert InnoDB to MyISAM Storage Engine of Database

Question

How to convert database storage engine from InnoDB to MyISAM on MySQL? I found so many sites which convert the storage engine of datab

Answer 1

to make it permanent, add to my.cnf (few locations depending on context)

/etc/my.cnf

default-storage-engine= MyISAM

for safety, output the db list with show databases;

in my case, using php for quickie..

$db = mysql_connect('localhost','someadmin','somepass');
$dbs = array();
$dbs[] = 'test';
$dbs[] = 'myImportantDb';

foreach($dbs as $v){
    mysql_select_db($v);
    $q = mysql_query('show tables');
    $tables = array();
    while($r = mysql_fetch_row($q)){
            $tables[] = $r[0];
    }
    foreach($tables as $t){
        echo "do $v.$t\n";
        mysql_query('ALTER TABLE `'.$t.'` ENGINE=MyISAM;');
    }
}
mysql_close($db);
