NAME

       innochecksum - offline InnoDB file checksum utility

SYNOPSIS

       innochecksum [options] file_name

DESCRIPTION

       innochecksum prints checksums for InnoDB files. This tool reads an InnoDB tablespace file, calculates the checksum for each page, compares
       the calculated checksum to the stored checksum, and reports mismatches, which indicate damaged pages. It was originally developed to speed
       up verifying the integrity of tablespace files after power outages but can also be used after file copies. Because checksum mismatches will
       cause InnoDB to deliberately shut down a running server, it can be preferable to use this tool rather than waiting for a server in
       production usage to encounter the damaged pages.

       innochecksum cannot be used on tablespace files that the server already has open. For such files, you should use CHECK TABLE to check
       tables within the tablespace.

       If checksum mismatches are found, you would normally restore the tablespace from backup or start the server and attempt to use mysqldump to
       make a backup of the tables within the tablespace.

       Invoke innochecksum like this:

	   shell> innochecksum [options] file_name

       innochecksum supports the following options. For options that refer to page numbers, the numbers are zero-based.

       o   -c

	   Print a count of the number of pages in the file.

       o   -d

	   Debug mode; prints checksums for each page.

       o   -e num

	   End at this page number.

       o   -p num

	   Check only this page number.

       o   -s num

	   Start at this page number.

       o   -v

	   Verbose mode; print a progress indicator every five seconds.

NAME

       msql2mysql - convert mSQL programs for use with MySQL

SYNOPSIS

       msql2mysqlC-source-file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Initially, the MySQL C API was developed to be very similar to that for the mSQL database system. Because of this, mSQL programs often can
       be converted relatively easily for use with MySQL by changing the names of the C API functions.

       The msql2mysql utility performs the conversion of mSQL C API function calls to their MySQL equivalents.	msql2mysql converts the input file
       in place, so make a copy of the original before converting it. For example, use msql2mysql like this:

	   shell> cp client-prog.c client-prog.c.orig
	   shell> msql2mysql client-prog.c
	   client-prog.c converted

       Then examine client-prog.c and make any post-conversion revisions that may be necessary.

       msql2mysql uses the replace utility to make the function name substitutions. See replace(1).
