Safety Features
- No automatic conversion on plugin activation
- Administrator-only access
- Backup confirmation checkbox

- Converts only selected tables using the active WordPress table prefix

Important
Always create a complete database backup before converting database tables.
Large tables may require additional time depending on hosting resources. Conversion operations may temporarily lock tables while MySQL or MariaDB processes ALTER TABLE operations.
