MYSQL_FIX_EXTENSI(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_FIX_EXTENSI(1)NAMEmysql_fix_extensions - make table filename extensions lowercase
SYNOPSISmysql_fix_extensions data_dir
DESCRIPTIONmysql_fix_extensions converts the extensions for MyISAM (or ISAM) table
files to lowercase. It looks for files with an extension that that
matches any lettercase variant of .frm, .myd, .myi, .isd, and .ism and
renames them to have extensionsn of .frm, .MYD, .MYI, .ISD, and .ISM,
respectively. This can be useful after transferring the files from a
system with case-insensitive filenames (such as Windows) to a system
with case-sensitive filenames.
Invoke mysql_fix_extensions like this, where data_dir is the pathname
to the MySQL data directory.
