mariadb-convert-table-format
mariadb-convert-table-format converts the tables in a database to use a particular storage engine (MyISAM by default).
Prior to MariaDB 10.5, the client was called mysql_convert_table_format. It can still be accessed under this name, via a symlink in Linux, or an alternate binary in Windows.
