How to Convert MySQL Tables to MyISAM or InnoDB

Posted on January 10, 2008

If you have a InnoDB table that you’d like to convert to MyISAM:

class ConvertToMyIsam < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    execute 'ALTER TABLE torrents ENGINE = MyISAM'
  end

  def self.down
    execute 'ALTER TABLE torrents ENGINE = InnoDB'
  end
end

You can flip the migrations for the reverse, of course.
