Simply check the value of the Engine column in the returned dataset to know which engine the table is using. Show activity on this post. SELECT ENGINE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA. TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME='your_table_name' AND TABLE_SCHEMA='your_database_name'; -- or use TABLE_SCHEMA=DATABASE() if you have a default one.
To determine which engine a database table is currently using, type the following command at the mysql> prompt. Replace database with the name of the database that you want to check: Copy SELECT TABLE_NAME, ENGINE FROM information_schema. TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA = 'database';
The easiest way to check whether the InnoDB engine is enabled is to log in to phpMyAdmin, click the SQL tab, type the following command in the box: show engines; and click Go to execute the query and see the available storage engines. Next to InnoDB engine, in the Support row you will see Yes if InnoDB is enabled.
You can view a list of InnoDB INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables by issuing a SHOW TABLES statement on the INFORMATION_SCHEMA database: mysql> SHOW TABLES FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA LIKE 'INNODB%'; For table definitions, see Section 26.4, “INFORMATION_SCHEMA InnoDB Tables”.
To determine the storage engine being used by a table, you can use show table status. The Engine field in the results will show the database engine for the table. Alternately, you can select the engine field from information_schema.tables:
select engine from information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'schema_name' and table_name = 'table_name' You can change between storage engines using alter table:
alter table the_table engine = InnoDB; Where, of course, you can specify any available storage engine.
