如何查看MySQL数据库/表/列的字符集？

这是我的做法-

对于模式（或数据库-它们是同义词）：

SELECT default_character_set_name FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA WHERE schema_name = "schemaname"; 对于表：

SELECT CCSA.character_set_name FROM information_schema.TABLES T, information_schema.COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY CCSA WHERE CCSA.collation_name = T.table_collation AND T.table_schema = "schemaname" AND T.table_name = "tablename"; 对于列：

SELECT character_set_name FROM information_schema.COLUMNS WHERE table_schema = "schemaname" AND table_name = "tablename" AND column_name = "columnname";来源：stack overflow
