@item Tables are compressed with @code{pack_isam} rather than with @code{myisampack}.

@end itemize

If you want to convert an @code{ISAM} table to a @code{MyISAM} table so

that you can use utilities such as @code{mysqlcheck}, use an @code{ALTER

TABLE} statement:

@example

mysql> ALTER TABLE tbl_name TYPE = MYISAM;

@end example

@cindex tables, @code{HEAP}

@node HEAP, BDB, ISAM, Table types

@section HEAP Tables
