Windows下修改MySQL编码为utf8

Problem

Windows下安装MySQL（mysql-installer-community-5.7.17.0.msi）后，默认编码不全是gbk。

mysql> show variables like '%char%';

| character_set_server     | utf8                                                    |
| character_set_system     | utf8                                                    |

Solution

进入MySQL安装的目录，复制my-default.ini，重命名为my.ini，添加如下配置：

[mysqld]
character-set-server = utf8

[client]
default-character-set = utf8

重启MySQL服务（右键计算机 > 管理 > 服务和应用程序 > 服务 > MySQL），再次查看确实是否生效。

mysql> show variables like '%char%';
