Strings

A string is a sequence of bytes or characters. A String is enclosed within either single quote (') or double quote (") characters. For example, 'a string' "another string" A binary string has no character set or collation. A non-binary string has a character set and collation. String literals may have an optional character set introducer and COLLATE clause: [_charset_name]'string' [COLLATE collation_name] SELECT _latin1'string'; SELECT _latin1'string' COLLATE latin1_danish_ci;
