查看和设置MySQL数据库字符集

1.查找MySQL的cnf文件的位置---find / -iname '*.cnf' -print

/system_bak/current/my.cnf
/home_bak/current/wilbur/workspace/ice/IceE-trans-1.1.0/config/ice_ca.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-small.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-large.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-huge.cnf
/usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
/usr/share/ssl/openssl.cnf
/usr/share/doc/packages/MySQL-server/my-small.cnf
/usr/share/doc/packages/MySQL-server/my-large.cnf
/usr/share/doc/packages/MySQL-server/my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf
/usr/share/doc/packages/MySQL-server/my-huge.cnf
/usr/share/doc/packages/MySQL-server/my-medium.cnf
/etc/my.cnf
/home/wilbur/workspace/ice/IceE-trans-1.1.0/config/ice_ca.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:

Server version: 5.1.22-rc-community-log MySQL Community Edition (GPL)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
