How to query the character set of mysql

Method: 1. "show charset" statement to view the character set supported by MYSQL; 2. "show create database library name\G" statement to view the character set of the library; 3. "show full from columns Table Name" to view the character set of all columns in the table.

The operating environment of this tutorial: windows7 system, mysql8 version, Dell G3 computer.

View character set

1. View MYSQL database server and database character set

方法一：show variables like '%character%';
方法二：show variables like 'collation%';

Method one:

mysql> show variables like '%character%';
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| 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/local/mysql5535/share/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Method two:

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 (0.00 sec)

2. Check the character set supported by MYSQL

Use show charset You can view the character set supported by MYSQL

mysql> show charset;
+----------+-----------------------------+---------------------+--------+

Syntax: show create database database\G;

mysql> show create database shiyan\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Database: shiyan
Create Database: CREATE DATABASE `shiyan` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET gbk */
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
