Convert MySQL MyISAM tables to InnoDB

Convert MyISAM to InnoDB for better database performance. In the earlier days of MySQL, the default storage engine for your database tables was "MyISAM". InnoDB is the engine to use now, and MyISAM is no longer actively developed. Therefore all MySQL optimizations are for InnoDB, and it's recommended to switch from MyISAM to this InnoDB storage engine for your MySQL database tables. Follow this tutorial on how to convert from MyISAM to InnoDB.
