更好的变种生成SQL脚本的SQL请求。它不会破坏默认值/空值。

SELECT concat
    (
        'ALTER TABLE ', 
            t1.TABLE_SCHEMA, 
            '.', 
            t1.table_name, 
            ' MODIFY ', 
            t1.column_name, 
            ' ', 
            t1.column_type,
            ' CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci',
            if(t1.is_nullable='YES', ' NULL', ' NOT NULL'),
            if(t1.column_default is not null, concat(' DEFAULT \'', t1.column_default, '\''), ''),
            ';'
    )
from 
    information_schema.columns t1
where 
    t1.TABLE_SCHEMA like 'your_table_here' AND
    t1.COLLATION_NAME IS NOT NULL AND
    t1.COLLATION_NAME NOT IN ('utf8_general_ci');

您可以在以下级别设置默认排序规则:

1)客户端 2)服务器默认 3)数据库默认 4)表默认 5)列

我很惊讶地发现，所以我不得不回到这里报告，优秀和维护良好的Interconnect/it SAFE SEARCH and REPLACE ON DATABASE脚本有一些选项可以将表转换为utf8 / unicode，甚至转换为innodb。它是一个脚本，通常用于将数据库驱动的网站(Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla等)从一个域迁移到另一个域。

修改数据库中所有表中所有字段的排序规则。

我只是通过前面提到的Php为表中的字段添加另一个循环到解决方案。这很有帮助，表中的所有字段也都转换了。

<?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pw');
if(!$con) { echo "Cannot connect to the database ";die();}
mysql_select_db('database_name');
$result=mysql_query('show tables');
while($tables = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

foreach ($tables as $key => $table) {                   // for each table

    $sql = "ALTER TABLE $table CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci";
    echo "\n".$sql;
    mysql_query($sql);

    $sql = "show fields in ".$table." where type like 'varchar%' or type like 'char%' or type='text' or type='mediumtext';";
    $rs2=mysql_query($sql);
    while( $rw2 = mysql_fetch_array($rs2) ){            // for each field in table

        $sql = "ALTER TABLE `".$table."` CHANGE `".$rw2['Field']."` `".$rw2['Field']."` ".$rw2['Type']." CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL;";
        echo "\n".$sql;
        mysql_query($sql);

    } 


}
}
echo "The collation of your database has been successfully changed!";

?>}

您可以简单地将此代码添加到脚本文件

//Database Connection
$host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'your_database_name';
$db_user =  'your_database_user_name';
$db_pass = 'your_database_user_password';

$con = mysql_connect($host,$db_user,$db_pass);

if(!$con) { echo "Cannot connect to the database ";die();}

  mysql_select_db($db_name);

  $result=mysql_query('show tables');

  while($tables = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    foreach ($tables as $key => $value) {
    mysql_query("ALTER TABLE $value CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci");
  }
}

echo "The collation of your database has been successfully changed!";

要更改表的排序规则，您可以使用，

ALTER TABLE mytable CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8

若要为整个数据库设置默认排序规则，请执行以下操作

ALTER DATABASE  `databasename` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin

否则,

Goto PhpMyAdmin - >操作- >排序。

在这里，您可以找到包含所有现有排序规则的选择框。这样你就可以改变排序规则。在创建新列时，数据库表将遵循这个排序规则。创建新列时不需要选择排序规则。
