修改mysql字符集

有时候mysql和程序的字符不统一会导致网站乱码，这时候最好把字符集都统一。那么怎么修改字符集呢

本文总结了一些关于修改MySQL数据库的字符集的方法以及在实际开发中出现字符集乱码时候的一些解决办法。

Liunx下修改MySQL字符集：

1.查找MySQL的cnf文件的位置

find / -iname ‘*.cnf’ -print

/usr/share/mysql/my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-large.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-small.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-huge.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/xmltexfmtutil.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/tex/jadetex/jadefmtutil.cnf
/usr/share/doc/MySQL-server-community-5.1.22/my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf
/usr/share/doc/MySQL-server-community-5.1.22/my-large.cnf
/usr/share/doc/MySQL-server-community-5.1.22/my-small.cnf
/usr/share/doc/MySQL-server-community-5.1.22/my-medium.cnf
/usr/share/doc/MySQL-server-community-5.1.22/my-huge.cnf

2. 拷贝 small.cnf、my-medium.cnf、my-huge.cnf、my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf其中的一个到/etc下，命名为my.cnf

cp /usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf

3. 修改my.cnf

vi /etc/my.cnf

在[client]下添加

default-character-set=utf8

在[mysqld]下添加

default-character-set=utf8

4.重新启动MySQL

[root@bogon ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql restart
Shutting down MySQL                                         [ 确定 ]
Starting MySQL.                                             [ 确定 ]
[root@bogon ~]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 5.1.22-rc-community-log MySQL Community Edition (GPL)
Type ‘help;’ or ‘\h’ for help. Type ‘\c’ to clear the buffer.

5.查看字符集设置

mysql> show variables like ‘collation_%’;
+———————-+—————–+
| Variable_name         | Value            |
+———————-+—————–+
| collation_connection | utf8_general_ci |
| collation_database    | utf8_general_ci |
| collation_server      | utf8_general_ci |
+———————-+—————–+
3 rows in set (0.02 sec)
mysql> show variables like ‘character_set_%’;
+————————–+—————————-+
| Variable_name             | Value                       |
+————————–+—————————-+
| character_set_client      | utf8                        |
| character_set_connection | utf8                        |
| character_set_database    | utf8                        |
| character_set_filesystem | binary                      |
| character_set_results     | utf8                        |
| character_set_server      | utf8                        |
| character_set_system      | utf8                        |
| character_sets_dir        | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+————————–+—————————-+
8 rows in set (0.02 sec)

其他的一些设置方法：

修改数据库的字符集

mysql>use mydb

mysql>alter database mydb character set utf-8;

创建数据库指定数据库的字符集

mysql>create database mydb character set utf-8;
