Mysql 统一设置utf8字符

无聊的关于有效配置文件路径的备忘

原来阿里云服务器的mysql 5.5 , 配置/etc/my.cnf是没有任何作用的,需要编辑/etc/mysql/my.cnf
妈的, 就是这一点让我测试了两天, 太无聊了

参考：http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1049728/how-do-i-see-what-character-set-a-mysql-database-table-column-is
创建数据库时指定字符集:

create database test DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

查看数据库的字符集：

SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA,
       TABLE_NAME,
       CCSA.CHARACTER_SET_NAME AS DEFAULT_CHAR_SET,
       COLUMN_NAME,
       COLUMN_TYPE,
       C.CHARACTER_SET_NAME
  FROM information_schema.TABLES AS T
  JOIN information_schema.COLUMNS AS C USING (TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME)
  JOIN information_schema.COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY AS CCSA
       ON (T.TABLE_COLLATION = CCSA.COLLATION_NAME)
 WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA=SCHEMA()
   AND C.DATA_TYPE IN ('enum', 'varchar', 'char', 'text', 'mediumtext', 'longtext')
 ORDER BY TABLE_SCHEMA,
          TABLE_NAME,
          COLUMN_NAME
;

修改数据库字符集：
alter database test character set utf8;
彻底删除apt-get autoremove --purge mysql-server-5.5
将以下内容添加到my.cnf

[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_general_ci

SO

[client]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8


[mysqld]
collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci
init-connect='SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server = utf8
default-character-set = utf8

初始化命令

sudo echo -e "[mysqld]\ncharacter-set-server=utf8\ncollation-server=utf8_general_ci" >> /etc/my.cnf

Mysql配置文件的加载顺序是依次按照以下来的:

Linux:
  /etc/my.cnf 
  /etc/mysql/my.cnf 
  /usr/etc/my.cnf 
  ~/.my.cnf

Windows:
  C:\WINDOWS\my.ini
  C:\WINDOWS\my.cnf
  C:\my.ini 
  C:\my.cnf 
  C:\mysql\my.ini 
  C:\mysql\my.cnf 

一般来说, 编辑/etc/my.cnf或C:\mysql\my.ini这两个文件就ok了
