How can i find if a table is using indexes?


Recommended Posts

Hello

I am thinking to convert some big tables to Innodb and all members told me first to drop the index from my tables before i convert them to innodb.

Can anyone help me on how can i find if my tables are using indexes (IPB v2.3.x) and what is the name of them so i can use the:

ALTER TABLE ibf_posts DROP index `name of the index`

I want for the tables:

ibf_posts about 1.800.000 entries
ibf_topic_markers about 2.500.000 entries <--- Maybe i can clear this one?
ibf_topics about 250.000 entries
ibf_members about 200.000 entries

I am using cpanel and i have phpmyadmin that is easy to use but i can run a few commands from ssh if it is better.

Also i am using already sphinx if that helps.

Can anyone please help me with a screenshot or any other info to find that info?

Thank you

I'd suggest you google some simple phpmyAdmin questions because you gain this information from phpMyAdmin. Maybe like a walk-through of the features of it. To get a better understanding.

Then write the necessary drop statement and run it from SSH.

Here is the screenshot of the functionality.

Great thank you so much !

This is what i have there:

%7Boption%7D

How can i adjust now the command?

ALTER TABLE ibf_posts DROP index `name of the index`


The name of the index that i must use is where i have the type: full text only like above keyname: "title" ?

Is thi swhat i want?

ALTER TABLE ibf_topics DROP index `title`

ALTER TABLE ibf_topics ENGINE = InnoDB;


And for the other table:


ALTER TABLE ibf_posts DROP index `post`


ALTER TABLE ibf_posts ENGINE = InnoDB;



Also do i have to use on the first command the ` and for the second command the ; ?

Also i have a huge almost 3.000.000 entries table ibf_topic_markers and i want to ask if it is only to keep info of the users on which topics they have been there and nothing more or not?

So maybe i must convert this also.
