How Do I Set the Encoding Format of the RDS for MySQL 8.0 Character Set?
- Set character_set_server to utf8 and collation_server to utf8_general_ci.
- Log in to the management console.
- Click
in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
- Click Service List. Under Database, click Relational Database Service.
- On the Instances page, click the instance name.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Parameters.
- Search for character_set_server and collation_server, respectively, in the search box.
- Set the parameters to utf8 and utf8_general_ci, respectively, and click Save.
- If you use a client of PHP 7.1.x, change the PHP version because it will fail to connect to MySQL 8.0 DB instances with the utf8mb4 character set.
