MySQL数据类型--------字符串类型实战

1. 背景

  * MySQL支持的字符串类型有CHAR、VARCHAR、二进制、var二进制、BLOB、文本等等。

2. 字符串类型所需的存储和值范围

3. 定义与变长区别 (CHAR VS VARCHAR)

4. 字符串类型相关注意事项

   * 在BLOB和TEXT列上创建索引时，必须制定索引前缀的长度

   * VARCHAR和VARBINARY必须长度是可选的

   * BLOB和TEXT列不能有默认值

   * BLOB和TEXT列排序时只使用该列的前max_sort_length个字节

mysql> show variables like 'max_sort_length';
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name   | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| max_sort_length | 1024  |
+-----------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

5. 字符串类型与排序规则

　 * 查看字符串相关信息　[ Default collation: 默认排序规则 ]

mysql> show character set like 'utf8mb4';
+---------+---------------+--------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description   | Default collation  | Maxlen |
+---------+---------------+--------------------+--------+
| utf8mb4 | UTF-8 Unicode | utf8mb4_general_ci |      4 |
+---------+---------------+--------------------+--------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)

　 * 查看utfmb4所有排序规则

mysql> show collation like 'utf8mb4%';
+------------------------+---------+-----+---------+----------+---------+

+------------------------+---------+-----+---------+----------+---------+
26 rows in set (0.00 sec)

　 * 修改默认排序规则

mysql> set names utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> show character set like 'utf8mb4';
+---------+---------------+--------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description   | Default collation  | Maxlen |
+---------+---------------+--------------------+--------+
| utf8mb4 | UTF-8 Unicode | utf8mb4_general_ci |      4 |
+---------+---------------+--------------------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

6. 总结

以需求驱动技术，技术本身没有优略之分，只有业务之分。
