How can we check the character set of all the tables 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 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 in a database named ‘Alpha’.
mysql> Select TABLE_NAME, CHARACTER_SET_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns Where TABLE_SCHEMA = 'Alpha'; +------------+--------------------+ | TABLE_NAME | CHARACTER_SET_NAME | +------------+--------------------+ | employee | latin1 | | employee | latin1 | | student | latin1 | | student | NULL | | student | latin1 | +------------+--------------------+ 5 rows in set (0.06 sec)
The output shows 5 rows, 2 for employee table and 3 for student table because table employee contains two columns and table student contains three columns.
