一些SHOW语句提供额外的字符集信息。这些语句包括SHOW CHARACTER SET、SHOW COLLATION、SHOW CREATE DATABASE、SHOW CREATE TABLE和SHOW COLUMNS。
SHOW CHARACTER SET命令显示全部可用的字符集。它带有一个可选的LIKE子句来指示匹配哪些字符集名。例如:
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET LIKE 'latin%';
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description | Default collation | Maxlen |
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
| latin1 | cp1252 West European | latin1_swedish_ci | 1 |
| latin2 | ISO 8859-2 Central European | latin2_general_ci | 1 |
| latin5 | ISO 8859-9 Turkish | latin5_turkish_ci | 1 |
| latin7 | ISO 8859-13 Baltic | latin7_general_ci | 1 |
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
见13.5.4.1节,“SHOW CHARACTER SET语法”。
SHOW COLLATION语句的输出包括全部可用的字符集。它带有一个可选的LIKE子句来指示匹配哪些 校对规则名。例如:
mysql> SHOW COLLATION LIKE 'latin1%';
+-------------------+---------+----+---------+----------+---------+
| Collation | Charset | Id | Default | Compiled | Sortlen |
+-------------------+---------+----+---------+----------+---------+
| latin1_german1_ci | latin1 | 5 | | | 0 |
| latin1_swedish_ci | latin1 | 8 | Yes | Yes | 0 |
| latin1_danish_ci | latin1 | 15 | | | 0 |
| latin1_german2_ci | latin1 | 31 | | Yes | 2 |
| latin1_bin | latin1 | 47 | | Yes | 0 |
| latin1_general_ci | latin1 | 48 | | | 0 |
| latin1_general_cs | latin1 | 49 | | | 0 |
| latin1_spanish_ci | latin1 | 94 | | | 0 |
+-------------------+---------+----+---------+----------+---------+
见13.5.4.2节,“SHOW COLLATION语法”。
SHOW CREATE DATABASE语句显示创建给定数据库的CREATE DATABASE语句。结果包括全部数据库选项。支持DEFAULT CHARACTER SET和COLLATE。全部数据库选项存储在命名为db.Opt的文本文件中,该文件能够在数据库目录中找到。
mysql> SHOW CREATE DATABASE test;
+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Database | Create Database |
+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| test | CREATE DATABASE `test` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 */ |
+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
见13.5.4.4节,“SHOW CREATE DATABASE语法”
SHOW CREATE TABLE与SHOW CREATE DATABASE相似,但是显示创建给定数据库的CREATE TABLE语句。列定义显示任何字符集规格,并且表选项包括字符集信息。
见13.5.4.5节,“SHOW CREATE TABLE语法”
当以SHOW FULL COLUMNS调用时,SHOW COLUMNS语句显示表中列的校对规则。具有CHAR、VARCHAR或TEXT数据类型的列有非NULL的 校对规则。数值列和其它非字符类型的列有NULL校对规则。例如:
mysql> SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM person\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Field: id
Type: smallint(5) unsigned
Collation: NULL
Null: NO
Key: PRI
Default: NULL
Extra: auto_increment
Privileges: select,insert,update,references
Comment:
*************************** 2. row ***************************
Field: name
Type: char(60)
Collation: latin1_swedish_ci
Null: NO
Key:
Default:
Extra:
Privileges: select,insert,update,references
Comment:
字符集不是显示的部分。(字符集名隐含在校对规则名中。)
