MySQL query to discover current default database collation (via command line client)?
You need to use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA for current default database collation.
The syntax is as follows
SELECT DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'yourDatabaseName' LIMIT 1;
Let us implement the above syntax to discover current default database collation (via command line client). Our database here is ‘sample’.
The query is as follows −
mysql> SELECT DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'sample' LIMIT 1;
The following is the output
+------------------------+ | DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME | +------------------------+ | utf8_general_ci | +------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
