Hello.
You should carefully read chapters of manual related to the character sets. Use SET NAMES 'gbk' or SET character_set_client = 'gbk'; SET character_set_results = 'gbk'; SET collation_connection = 'gbk'; to specify character_set_client, character_set_result, character_set_conection. Also you can put in your [client] section of my.cnf something like: default_character_set=gbk Database character set depends on character set stated when database had been created and server character set.
