How can I check the character set of all the tables along with column names in a particular MySQL database?
With the help of the following MySQL query we can check the character sets of all the tables in a particular database −
mysql> Select Column_name, TABLE_NAME, CHARACTER_SET_NAME FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns Where TABLE_SCHEMA = 'db_name';
Example
For example, the query below returns the character sets of all the tables along with the column names in a database named ‘Alpha’.
mysql> Select Column_name 'Column',TABLE_NAME, CHARACTER_SET_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns Where TABLE_SCHEMA = 'Alpha';
+---------+------------+--------------------+
| Column | TABLE_NAME | CHARACTER_SET_NAME |
+---------+------------+--------------------+
| Name | employee | latin1 |
| email | employee | latin1 |
| Name | student | latin1 |
| RollNo | student | NULL |
| Address | student | latin1 |
+---------+------------+--------------------+
