解决mysql 不能插入中文问题

(1)修改 MySql安装目录下面的my.ini(MySQL Server Instance Configuration 文件)。 设置
        default-character-set=gbk(注意，有2处)

(2)修改data目录中相应数据库目录下的db.opt配置文件
        default-character-set=gbk
        default-collation=gbk_chinese_ci
重启数据库，关闭控制台窗口重新登录数据库，执行SQL，一切正常

can't obtain database list from the server
access denied for user 'root' @ localhost

.Windows环境下：

1. 管理员登陆系统,停止mysql服务或者结束mysqld-nt进程
2. 进入命令行,来到mysql的安装目录.假设安装目录为 d://mysql// , CMD进入命令行
3. 运行 d://mysql//bin//mysqld-nt --skip-grant-tables 启动mysql,关闭权限的检查
4. 运行 d://mysql//bin//mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges password "newpassword" 重设root密码
5. 重新启动mysql服务

update user set password=password("newpassword") where host="localhost" and user="root";

E:/MySQL Server 5.0/bin>mysql -uroot -p
