看見characterset全是gbk就算成功了。

在utf8字符集的老數據庫中,創建中文支持表腳本如下,對字段加上字符集說明：

create table `test`.`cn` (
`zh` char(10) character set gb2312 collate gb2312_chinese_ci not null,
`中文` int(11) not null
)
engine = myisam;

注：character set 寫gb2312 和gbk都可以,gbk優于gb2312。

對于新創建的數據庫加個默認字符集聲明gbk,就不用建表時候每個字段聲明了,這樣看起來簡單流暢,沒有特殊的痕跡,建議多采用這種方法。

mysql> create database dbcn default character set
gbk collate gbk_chinese_ci;
create table `dbcn`.`cn` (
`zh` char(10) not null,
`中文` int(11) not null
)
engine = myisam;
mysql> insert into cn values("真的？",1);

注：如果這些腳本用bin/mysql命令行是輸入不了,可以用mysql query browser,或者編程執行。

----------------------------------------------
shell> bin/mysql -u root --default-character-set=gbk -p
mysql>use test
mysql> select * from cn;
+--------+------+
| zh | 中文 |
+--------+------+
| 真的？| 1 |
+--------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

最后修改啟動文件/etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld，改路徑/app/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe，改路徑/app/mysql/var/web.pid/app/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe 后面加入 --user=root --default-character-set=gbk。
