设置MYSQL数据库编码为UTF-8
1、 编辑MySql的配置文件
MySql的配置文件Windows下一般在系统目录下或者在MySql的安装目录下名字叫my.ini，可以搜索，Linux下一般是/etc/my.cnf
--在 [mysqld] 标签下加上以下内容：
default-character-set = utf8
character_set_server = utf8
注意：如果此标签下已经存在“default-character-set=GBK”类似的内容，只需修改即可。
--在 [mysql] 标签下加上一行
default-character-set = utf8
--在 [mysql.server]标签下加上一行
default-character-set = utf8
--在 [mysqld_safe]标签下加上一行
default-character-set = utf8
--在 [client]标签下加上一行
default-character-set = utf8
2、 重新启动MySql服务
Windows可在服务管理器中操作，也可使用命令行：
net stop mysql 回车
net start mysql 回车
服务名可能不一定为mysql，请按自己的设置
Linux下面可是用 service mysql restart
如果出现启动失败，请检查配置文件有没有设置错误
3、 查看设置结果
登录MySql命令行客户端：打开命令行
mysql –uroot –p 回车
输入密码
进入mysql后 执行 ：show variables like "% character %";
显示结果应该类似如下：
| character_set_client | utf8 |
| character_set_connection | utf8 |
| character_set_database | utf8 |
| character_set_results | utf8 |
| character_set_server | utf8 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
如果仍有编码不是utf8的，请检查配置文件，也可使用mysql命令设置：
set character_set_client = utf8;
set character_set_server = utf8;
set character_set_connection = utf8;
set character_set_database = utf8;
set character_set_results = utf8;
set collation_connection = utf8_general_ci;
set collation_database = utf8_general_ci;
set collation_server = utf8_general_ci;
另外：
建立数据库时可以使用以下命令：
create database app_relation character set utf8;
use app_relation;
source app_relation.sql;
修改数据库编码的命令为：
alter database app_relation character set utf8;
