change it to CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET for tables with data – user11153
use this BASH script
#!/bin/bash
USER="YOUR_DATABASE_USER"
PASSWORD="YOUR_USER_PASSWORD"
DB_NAME="DATABASE_NAME"
CHARACTER_SET="utf8" # your default character set
COLLATE="utf8_general_ci" # your default collation
tables=`mysql -u $USER -p$PASSWORD -e "SELECT tbl.TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.TABLES tbl WHERE

for tableName in $tables; do
if [[ "$tableName" != "TABLE_NAME" ]] ; then
mysql -u $USER -p$PASSWORD -e "ALTER TABLE $DB_NAME.$tableName DEFAULT CHARACTER SET
$CHARACTER_SET COLLATE $COLLATE;"
echo "$tableName - done"

I will share my answer using MySQL procedure. You need to run 3 sql command.
1.
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS UpdateTable;
2.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateTable()
BEGIN
DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
DECLARE _table_name CHAR(255);
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema = 'my_db_name' AND table_type = "BASE TABLE";
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE;
OPEN cur;
My_loop: LOOP
FETCH cur INTO _table_name;
SET @my_table_name = _table_name;
IF done THEN
LEAVE My_loop;
END IF;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
SET @stmt = CONCAT('ALTER TABLE ', @my_table_name, ' CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE
utf8_general_ci;');
PREPARE stmt1 FROM @stmt;
EXECUTE stmt1;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt1;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
3.
CALL UpdateTable();
Then run first one again. If you don't want to store the procedure.
