安装完的MySQL的默认字符集为 latin1 ,为了要将其字符集改为用户所需要的(比如utf8),就必须改其相关的配置文件;由于linux下MySQL的默认安装目录分布在不同的文件下;不像windows一样放在同一目录下,只需修改其中的my.ini文件,重起后就生效了;所以先来看看linux下MySQL的数据库文件、配置文件和命令文件分别在不同的目录:
1、数据库目录,其所创建的数据库文件都在该目录下
/var/lib/mysql/
2、配置文件(mysql.server命令及配置文件所在地)/usr/share/mysql
3、相关命令(如mysql mysqladmin等)
/usr/bin
4、启动脚本(如mysql启动命令)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/
查看默认字符集
#mysql -u root - p
#(输入密码)
mysql> show variables like 'character_set%' ; +--------------------------+----------------------------+| Variable_name | Value |+--------------------------+----------------------------+| character_set_client | latin1 || character_set_connection | latin1 || character_set_database | latin1 || character_set_filesystem | binary || character_set_results | latin1 || character_set_server | latin1 || character_set_system | utf8 || character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |+--------------------------+----------------------------+
修改字符集 :
1.查找/etc目录下是否有my.cnf文件;
#ls -l | grep my.cnf(在/etc下查找是否有my.cnf文件存在)
2.如果没有就要从/usr/share/mysql,拷贝一个到/etc 下,在/usr/share/mysql目录下有五个后缀为.cnf的文件,分别是 my-huge.cnf my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf my-large.cnf my-medium.cnf my-small.cnf ;从中随便拷贝一个到/etc目录下并将其改为my.cnf文件,我选择的是my-medium.cnf :
#cp /usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
3.修改my.cnf文件,在该文件中的三个地方加上 default-character-set=utf8([client] [mysqld] [mysql])
#vi /etc/my.cnf
修改如下:(红色为添加部分)
[client] #password = your_password port = 3306 socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock default-character-set=utf8 (经过验证好像这一步不用设置也可以达到效果)
[mysqld] port = 3306 socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock skip-locking key_buffer = 16M max_allowed_packet = 1M table_cache = 64 sort_buffer_size = 512K net_buffer_length = 8K read_buffer_size = 256K read_rnd_buffer_size = 512K myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M default-character-set=utf8
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8'
[mysql] no-auto-rehash default-character-set=utf8 保存退出;
4.重起MySQL服务器,使其设置的内容生效
#/etc/init.d/mysql restart
5. 重新登入mysql;
# mysql -u root - p
#(输入密码)
mysql> show variables like 'character_set%' ; +--------------------------+----------------------------+| Variable_name | Value |+--------------------------+----------------------------+| character_set_client | utf8 || character_set_connection | utf8 |(都生成了utf8,成功了 哈哈哈)| character_set_database | utf8 || character_set_filesystem | binary || character_set_results | utf8 || character_set_server | utf8 || character_set_system | utf8 || character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |+--------------------------+----------------------------+
mysql启动和停止 操作 :
可以通过 #/etc/init.d/mysql [start | stop | restart](实现启动,停止,重启)
也可以通过 #service mysql[start | stop | restart](实现启动,停止,重启)
