How do I find if my a table is MyISAM or Innodb [duplicate]
You can use SHOW TABLE STATUS
to see table information.
SHOW TABLE STATUS WHERE `Name` = 'my_table';
Simply check the value of the Engine
column in the returned dataset to know which engine the table is using.
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.
You can use SHOW CREATE TABLE
and look for the ENGINE
part in the response.
SHOW CREATE TABLE users;
Example:
CREATE TABLE innodb_table (id int, value int) ENGINE=INNODB;
CREATE TABLE myisam_table (id int, value int) ENGINE=MYISAM;
CREATE TABLE default_table (id int, value int);
Result for innodb_table
:
SHOW CREATE TABLE innodb_table;
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Create Table |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| innodb_table | CREATE TABLE `innodb_table` (
`id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`value` int(11) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
+--------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Result for myisam_table
:
SHOW CREATE TABLE myisam_table;
