Auflisten und ändern der default collation in Mysql

Abfragen der aktuellen collation der Datenbank:

mysql> SELECT default_collation_name  FROM   information_schema.schemata S  WHERE  schema_name = (SELECT DATABASE() FROM   DUAL);
+------------------------+
| default_collation_name |
+------------------------+
| latin1_swedish_ci       |
+------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Abfragen der aktuellen collation der einzelnen Tabellen:

SELECT DISTINCT C.collation_name, T.table_name  FROM   information_schema.tables AS T, information_schema.`collation_character_set_applicability` AS C  WHERE  C.collation_name = T.table_collation AND T.table_schema = DATABASE();

Anpassen der database collation:

ALTER DATABASE <database_name> CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin  ;

Anpassen table collation:

ALTER TABLE <table_name> CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;

Anpassen

ALTER TABLE <table_name> MODIFY <column_name> VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;
