SHOW CHARACTER SET
[LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]
The SHOW CHARACTER SET statement
shows all available character sets. The
LIKE clause, if present, indicates
which character set names to match. The WHERE
clause can be given to select rows using more general
conditions, as discussed in Section 19.28, “Extensions to SHOW Statements”. For
example:
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET LIKE 'latin%';
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description | Default collation | Maxlen |
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
| latin1 | cp1252 West European | latin1_swedish_ci | 1 |
| latin2 | ISO 8859-2 Central European | latin2_general_ci | 1 |
| latin5 | ISO 8859-9 Turkish | latin5_turkish_ci | 1 |
| latin7 | ISO 8859-13 Baltic | latin7_general_ci | 1 |
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
The Maxlen column shows the maximum number of
bytes required to store one character.
