对于数据库级的字符集，如果没有办法重建数据库，可以在my.cnf文件中使用character-set-server = utf8(要重启数据库服务)，对于之前已经存在数据库，此参数不产生影响。如果之前的数据库A是latin1，在A中创建的表默认还是latin1，除非指定DEFAULT CHARSET！然而对于新建的数据库，则继承 my.cnf文件中使用character-set-server = utf8！
[root@rac3 ~]# more /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
old_passwords=1
character-set-server = utf8
关闭数据库服务，并重新启动！
[root@rac3 ~]# mysqladmin shutdown
[root@rac3 ~]# mysqld_safe &
[1] 15102
[root@rac3 ~]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
[root@rac3 ~]# mysql
