mysql 字符集 校验规则_mysql的字符集校对规则

目前mysql默认的校对规则除binary charset为binary外，都为ci，即大小写不敏感，既然这种校验规则容易出问题，那么为什么还要默认为这样的规则呢？有句古话叫做存在即合理，不知道为什么mysql采用了这样的默认规则呢？

查了下oracle中的校验规则，默认为binary，顺便查了下文档关于该参数的解释：

Note:

Setting NLS_SORT to anything other than BINARY causes a sort to use a full table scan, regardless of the path chosen by the optimizer. BINARY is the exception because indexes are built according to a binary order of keys. Thus the optimizer can use an index to satisfy the ORDER BY clause when NLS_SORT is set to BINARY. If NLS_SORT is set to any linguistic sort, the optimizer must include a full table scan and a full sort in the execution plan.

ps：题外--

前些日子还感叹，mysql的文档结构不说怎么样吧，但是mysql有一个亮点就是注册用户可以在在线文档上添加comments，这些comments的用途想想都该知道的吧。

不经意间发现oracle 11g文档也增加了相应的模块，oracle总是在不断吸收别人的长处不断改进，赞一个！

回到正题，看了oracle关于该参数的说明，那不由得想到，mysql可能默认是按照linguistic语义来进行存储的吧，而这或许也是其多数用户需求？暂时没有答案了。
