TencentDB for MySQL supports LATIN1, GBK, UTF8 (default), and UTF8MB4 character sets.

Although TencentDB supports changing the default character set, we recommend that you explicitly specify the table encoding when creating a table and specify the connection encoding when establishing a connection for more portable application experience.

How do I view the character set collation in TencentDB?

TencentDB for MySQL allows you to set the character set collation when creating an instance. You can select a character set to provide a case-sensitive, accent-sensitive, or binary collation for your data, but doing so will affect the results of relevant database operations.
You can run the show collation command to view the collation.
Sample:

What should I do if the lower_case_table_names parameter failed to be modified?

You can modify the lower_case_table_names parameter in the TencentDB for MySQL console. If it is set to 1, the case-insensitive mode is enabled. Pay attention to the following when modifying the parameter:

• Modifying the parameter will restart the instance.
• Before modifying the parameter, make sure that all database and table names in the instance are lowercase; otherwise, an error will be reported if any of them is uppercase.
• The parameter cannot be modified in MySQL 8.0 as it supports the case-sensitive mode by default.

Check uppercase table names:

select table_schema,table_name from information_schema.tables where   table_schema not in("mysql","information_schema") and (md5(table_name)<>md5(lower(table_name)) or md5(table_schema)<>md5(lower(table_schema)));

Check uppercase database names:

select SCHEMA_NAME from information_schema.SCHEMATA where md5(SCHEMA_NAME)<>md5(lower(SCHEMA_NAME));
