Redhat 5.3 Mysql 5.1.36 配置默认字符集

一、新装Mysql没有配置文件，需要创建配置文件/etc/my.cnf

cp /usr/share/doc/MySQL-server-community-5.1.36/my-large.cnf /etc/my.cnf

 二、修改my.cnf

vi my.cnf

1. 在[mysqld]段中添加default-character-set=utf8
2. 在[client]中添加default-character-set=utf8

三、重启服务

service mysql restart
Shutting down MySQL....                               [确定]
Starting MySQL.                                       [确定]

 三、验证结果

mysql

mysql> show variables like 'character_set_%';
