以创建字符集为utf8的数据库为例:
CREATE DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; CREATE DATABASE 的语法: CREATE {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [IF NOT EXISTS] db_name [create_specification [, create_specification] ...] create_specification: [DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET charset_name | [DEFAULT] COLLATE collation_name
更改数据库的字符编码
ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci
