Hello.

I want to find out the charsets supported by DataBase.
I tried "SHOW CHARACTER SET" but I get this error:

---------------
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET;
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'CHARACTER SET' at line 1
------------------

Is there any different way to find it out? How can I
add another charset?

Thank you very much. Regards.
