Collation and Engine _ Changer

Collation and Engine _ Changer

The "Collation and Engine - Changer" can be used to switch the Database Collation and Database Character set including all tables and columns to UTF8mb4 (or to an other collation). It will also converting all tables from MyISAM to InnoDB. In this way you are using the same like Joomla 3.5 is doing for the core tables. All this can be easily done from your Joomla backend.

Whenever you have one of these problems:


you have to switch from one collation to an other
you have to switch from MyISAM to InnoDB
you got the error: "Illegal mix of collations"
you have to migrate an website from Joomla 2.5 to 3.5
you are using extensions that are not using UTF8mb4


then the CE-Changer is your solution.
