You can see it by executing the "SHOW VARIABLES" query on your server. You will find the used charset in the 'character_set' variable.

You can also use the query "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set'" which will directly match what you want.

Hello,

How can I see what char set is being used as the
default char set on the server or database?

Also, is there a way to change the default setting?

Thanks,

Yves
