我们经常能在数据库中看到这些: utf8mb4 和 utf8, utf8mb4_unicode_ci, utf8mb4_general_ci, utf8mb4_bin 分别代表什么意思呢?

其实他们表示的是字符集 和 排序规则

字符集:就是用来定义字符在数据库中的编码的集合。 排序规则:用来定义比较字符串的方式。 字符集和排序规则是一对多的关系

一 MySQL 支持多个 Unicode 字符集

utf8mb4: Unicode 字符集的 UTF-8 编码, 每个字符使用 1-4 个字节, mb4 即 most bytes 4

utf8mb3: Unicode 字符集的 UTF-8 编码, 每个字符使用 1-3 个字节. MySQL 8.0 中不推荐使用此字符集, 应改用utf8mb4

ucs2: Unicode 字符集的 UCS-2 编码, 每个字符使用 2 个字节. MySQL 8.0.28 中已弃用, 您应该希望在将来的版本中删除对该字符集的支持

utf16: Unicode字符集的 UTF-16 编码, 每个字符使用 2-4 字节. 与 ucs2 类似, 但具有补充字符的扩展名

utf16le: Unicode 字符集的 UTF-16LE 编码. 像 utf16, 但小端序而不是大端序

utf32: Unicode 字符集的 UTF-32 编码, 每个字符使用 4 个字节

utf8: 是utf8mb3 的别名, 节省空间但不能表达全部的UTF-8 (比如emoji表情). MySQL 的 utf8 实际上不是真正的 UTF-8. 在 MySQL 8.0 中, 此别名已弃用, 改用utf8mb4, utf8 有望在未来的版本中成为 utf8mb4 的别名. 从 MySQL 8.0.28 开始, 在信息模式表的列和 SQL SHOW 语句的输出中, utf8mb3也显示在utf8的位置.

utf8mb4 utf16 utf16le 和 utf32 支持BMP(Basic Multilingual Plane: 基本多语言平面)字符和位于BMP之外的补充字符. utf8mb3 和 ucs2 仅支持 BMP 字符

utf8mb4 是 utf8mb3 的超集

推荐

为了避免 utf8 含义的歧义, 请考虑为字符集引用显式指定 utf8mb4

二 排序规则

大多数Unicode字符集都有一个通用排序规则(由名称中的_general表示, 或由缺少语言说明符表示), 一个二进制排序规则(名称中的_bin表示)和几个特定于语言的排序规则(通过语言说明符指示).

例如, 对于utf8mb4, utf8mb4_general_ci 和 utf8mb 4_bin 是其通用和二进制排序规则, 而 utf8mb4_unicode_ci 是其特定语言的排序规则之一

大多数字符集都有一个二进制排序规则, utf8mb4 是一个例外, 它有两个: utf8mb4_bin 和 utf8mb4_0900_bin(从MySQL 8.0.17起) 这两个二进制排序规则具有相同的排序顺序, 但通过其 pad 属性和排序权重特性进行区分

utf8mb4_general_ci 和 utf8mb4_unicode_ci 对比

从准确性比较:

utf8mb4_unicode_ci 是基于标准的 Unicode 来排序和比较, 能够在各种语言之间精确排序

utf8mb4_general_ci 没有实现 Unicode 排序规则, 在遇到某些特殊语言或者字符集, 排序结果可能不一致. 但在绝大多数情况下, 这些特殊字符的顺序并不需要那么精确

从性能比较:

utf8mb4_general_ci 在比较和排序的时候更快

utf8mb4_unicode_ci 在特殊情况下, Unicode 排序规则为了能够处理特殊字符的情况, 实现了略微复杂的排序算法. 但是在绝大多数情况不会发生此类复杂比较

utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci 和 utf8mb4_bin

utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci: 0900代表Unicode 9.0的规范, ai表示 accent insensitivity(不区分音调), 而ci表示case insensitivity(不区分大小写) 而 as 区分音调 cs 表示区分大小写

utf8mb4_bin: 将字符串每个字符用二进制数据编译存储, 区分大小写, 而且可以存二进制的内容

8.0之后默认不再像之前版本一样是utf8mb4_general_ci 而是统一更新成了utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci

推荐

utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci(默认值) 或 utf8mb4_bin

三 字符集和排序规则怎么看

首先查看支持的字符集和排序规则

MySQL不同版本支持的字符集有所不同,可以使用show charset 和 show collation 查看
