Video - Converting Moodle Database from MyISAM to INNODB @moodlerific

EdTech

Although I’ve written about the reasons why, as well as how to do the conversion, to go from MyISAM type of MySQL database to INNODB here, @Moodlerific recently brought it up in a twitter exchange. As a result, I thought it might be helpful to just video the process as I took one of our existing Moodles and upgraded it to INNODB.

This is about an 8-9 minute tutorial, divided up into two parts. I recorded them with Jing Pro; next time, I hope to remember to use Camtasia Pro so it can all be one video. I hope this is helpful to those of you contemplating the move from Moodle 1.9.11 to Moodle 2.0

  1. Using phpMyAdmin to Export to do a SQL Dump and preparing the text file for import
  2. Doing the import, which involves dropping the old database.

You can follow the directions here.
