我的解决方案是@Dzintars和@Quassnoi Answer的组合。

SELECT CONCAT("ALTER TABLE ", TABLE_SCHEMA, '.', TABLE_NAME," CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 ;") AS    ExecuteTheString
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA="<your-database>"
AND TABLE_TYPE="BASE TABLE";

通过使用CONVERT TO，这将生成一个脚本，它将<your-database>的所有表转换为所需的编码。这也改变了每一列的编码!

如果你想更新架构的默认字符集:

 ALTER SCHEMA MYSCHEMA DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

下面的查询将生成ALTER查询，将所有表中所有适当列的排序规则更改为某种类型(在下面的示例中为utf8_general_ci)。

SELECT concat
        (
            'ALTER TABLE ', 
                t1.TABLE_SCHEMA, 
                '.', 
                t1.table_name, 
                ' MODIFY ', 
                t1.column_name, 
                ' ', 
                t1.data_type, 
                '(' , 
                    CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, 
                ')', 
                ' CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;'
        )
from 
    information_schema.columns t1
where 
    t1.TABLE_SCHEMA like 'you_db_name_goes_here' AND
    t1.COLLATION_NAME IS NOT NULL AND
    t1.COLLATION_NAME NOT IN ('utf8_general_ci');

我在这里读到，你需要手动转换每个表，这是不正确的。下面是一个如何使用存储过程的解决方案:

DELIMITER $$

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS changeCollation$$

-- character_set parameter could be 'utf8'
-- or 'latin1' or any other valid character set
CREATE PROCEDURE changeCollation(IN character_set VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN
DECLARE v_finished INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE v_table_name varchar(255) DEFAULT "";
DECLARE v_message varchar(4000) DEFAULT "No records";

-- This will create a cursor that selects each table,
-- where the character set is not the one
-- that is defined in the parameter

DECLARE alter_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = DATABASE()
AND COLLATION_NAME NOT LIKE CONCAT(character_set, '_%');

-- This handler will set the value v_finished to 1
-- if there are no more rows

DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER
FOR NOT FOUND SET v_finished = 1;

OPEN alter_cursor;

-- Start a loop to fetch each rows from the cursor
get_table: LOOP

-- Fetch the table names one by one
FETCH alter_cursor INTO v_table_name;

-- If there is no more record, then we have to skip
-- the commands inside the loop
IF v_finished = 1 THEN
LEAVE get_table;
END IF;

IF v_table_name != '' THEN

IF v_message = 'No records' THEN
SET v_message = '';
END IF;

-- This technic makes the trick, it prepares a statement
-- that is based on the v_table_name parameter and it means
-- that this one is different by each iteration inside the loop

SET @s = CONCAT('ALTER TABLE ',v_table_name,
' CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET ', character_set);
PREPARE stmt FROM @s;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

SET v_message = CONCAT('The table ', v_table_name ,
' was changed to the default collation of ', character_set,
'.\n', v_message);

SET v_table_name = '';

END IF;
-- Close the loop and the cursor
END LOOP get_table;
CLOSE alter_cursor;

-- Returns information about the altered tables or 'No records'
SELECT v_message;

END $$

DELIMITER ;

创建过程后，可以简单地调用它:

CALL changeCollation('utf8');

更多细节请阅读这篇博客。

您可以简单地将此代码添加到脚本文件

//Database Connection
$host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'your_database_name';
$db_user =  'your_database_user_name';
$db_pass = 'your_database_user_password';

$con = mysql_connect($host,$db_user,$db_pass);

if(!$con) { echo "Cannot connect to the database ";die();}

  mysql_select_db($db_name);

  $result=mysql_query('show tables');

  while($tables = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    foreach ($tables as $key => $value) {
    mysql_query("ALTER TABLE $value CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci");
  }
}

echo "The collation of your database has been successfully changed!";

要更改表的排序规则，您可以使用，

ALTER TABLE mytable CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8

若要为整个数据库设置默认排序规则，请执行以下操作

ALTER DATABASE  `databasename` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin

否则,

Goto PhpMyAdmin - >操作- >排序。

在这里，您可以找到包含所有现有排序规则的选择框。这样你就可以改变排序规则。在创建新列时，数据库表将遵循这个排序规则。创建新列时不需要选择排序规则。
