Character Sets and Collations in MySQL
MySQL supports the use of character sets for the MyISAM, MEMORY, NDBCluster, and InnoDB storage engines.
A character set is a set of symbols and encodings.
A collation is a set of rules for comparing characters in a character set.
The MySQL server can support multiple character sets.
To list the available character sets, use the SHOW CHARACTER SET statement

Column Character Set and Collation
Every CHAR, VARCHAR, or TEXT Column has a column character set and a column collation.
Column definition syntax has optional clauses for specifying the column character set and collation:
col_name {CHAR | VARCHAR | TEXT} (col_length)[CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]

Database changed
Every database has a database character set and a database collation.
The CREATE DATABASE and ALTER DATABASE statements have optional clauses for specifying the database character set and collation:
All database options are stored in a text file named db.opt that can be found in the database directory.
CREATE DATABASE db_name
[[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET charset_name]
[[DEFAULT] COLLATE collation_name]
ALTER DATABASE db_name
[[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET charset_name]
[[DEFAULT] COLLATE collation_name]

Server Character Set and Collation
You can use --character-set-server for the character set.
Along with it, you can add --collation-server for the collation.
shell> mysqld
shell> mysqld --character-set-server=latin1
shell> mysqld --character-set-server=latin1 --collation-server=latin1_swedish_ci
SHOW CREATE DATABASE displays the CREATE DATABASE statement that creates a given database:
mysql>
mysql> SHOW CREATE DATABASE test;

Table Character Set and Collation
Every table has a table character set and a table collation.
The CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements have optional clauses for specifying them:
CREATE TABLE tbl_name (column_list)
[[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]]
ALTER TABLE tbl_name
[[DEFAULT] CHARACTER SET charset_name] [COLLATE collation_name]
TEXT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_bin

The output from SHOW COLLATION includes all available character sets.
It takes an optional LIKE clause that indicates which collation names to match.

mysql> SHOW COLLATION LIKE "latin1%";

The SHOW CHARACTER SET command shows all available character sets.
It takes an optional LIKE clause that indicates which character set names to match.

The SHOW COLUMNS statement displays the collations of a table"s columns when invoked as SHOW FULL COLUMNS
Columns with CHAR, VARCHAR, or TEXT data types have collations.
Numeric and other non-character types have no collation (indicated by NULL as the Collation value).
