Character set 'utf8mb4' is not a compiled character set

               

    最近在一次MySQL数据迁移的过程中遭遇了字符集的问题，提示为"Character set 'utf8mb4' is not a compiled character set"。即是字符集utf8mb4不是一个编译的字符集以及没有在Index.xml文件里指定。下面是其处理过程及解决办法，供大家参考。

 

1、错误提示
SHELL> mysqlbinlog --database=bs_salary --stop-datetime="2014-12-15 8:24:48" /home/robin/mysql-bin.000399 \
> |mysql -uroot -p --force --database=salary_1215
mysql: Character set 'utf8mb4' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml' file

 

2、分析与解决
a、错误分析
从给出的错误提示来看，说utf8mb4字符集未被编译，而事实上这个字符集根本没有用到。
其次说这个文件里/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml未指定utf8mb4字符集，需要检查字符集目录设置。

b、字符集检查
首先检查了新旧环境的字符集设置，两边都为UTF8，如下
mysql> show variables like '%char%';
