目前我们在PHP中使用以下命令在应用程序中将字符集设置为UTF-8。

因为这有点开销,所以我们希望将其设置为MySQL中的默认设置。我们可以在/etc/my.cnf或其他位置这样做吗?

SET NAMES 'utf8'
SET CHARACTER SET utf8

我在/etc/my.cnf中寻找了一个默认字符集,但那里没有关于字符集的任何内容。

在这一点上,我做了以下设置MySQL字符集和排序变量为UTF-8:

skip-character-set-client-handshake
character_set_client=utf8
character_set_server=utf8

这是正确的处理方式吗?


当前回答

在MySQL 5.5中,我有my.cnf

[mysqld] 
init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_unicode_ci' 
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8' 
character-set-server=utf8 
collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci 
skip-character-set-client-handshake

结果是

mysql> show variables like "%character%";show variables like "%collation%";

在Xubuntu 12.04下,我简单地添加了

[mysqld]
character_set_server = utf8

到 /etc/mysql/my.cnf

结果是

mysql> show variables like "%character%";show variables like "%collation%";
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name            | Value                      |

| character_set_database   | utf8                       |

在Fedora 21上

$ vi /etc/my.cnf

添加:

[client]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysqld]
init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_unicode_ci'
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8'
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci 
skip-character-set-client-handshake

保存并退出。

最后记住,用service mysqld restart重启服务mysqld。

指令已更改为character-set-system=utf8

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/charset-configuration.html

在进行配置时,MySQL版本和Linux发行版可能很重要。

但是,[mysqld]部分下的更改是受鼓励的。

我想简单解释一下tomazzlender的回答:

[mysqld] 
init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_unicode_ci' 
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8' 
character-set-server=utf8 
collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci 
skip-character-set-client-handshake

[mysqld]

这将把collation_connection更改为utf8_unicode_ci

init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_unicode_ci'

使用集合名称:

init_connect='SET NAMES utf8'

SET NAMES将影响三个字符,即:

character_set_client
character_set_results
character_set_connection

这将设置character_set_database & character_set_server

character-set-server=utf8

这只会影响collation_database和collation_server

collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci

对不起,我不太清楚这是干什么用的。但是我不用这个词:

skip-character-set-client-handshake
