从MySql5中运行本地脚本创建数据库，当插入中文字段时发生“data too long for column”错误。上网一查，发现多字节用户大都碰到了这种情况。google搜索网上的解决方法大都是要将数据库的编码方式为GBK或UTF8，可我在安装MySql时就选择了UTF8格式。解决方法是:数据库目前是utf-8 ,为了能插入中文,先暂时把

mysql5的my.ini里的一个编码改成gbk,然后插入进去就可以了,如果用mysql自己的那个dos界面查看的话,可能显示是乱码,没关系,然后关闭

mysql服务,重新设置mysql的编码为utf8,然后重启服务器,用navicat这样的工具查看,应该能看到正确的编码,尔不是乱码,这样就可以解决了

重启下就OK了
