③. Mysql如何选择合适的索引
①. 如果用name索引需要遍历name字段联合索引树,然后还需要根据遍历出来的主键值去主键索引树里再去查出最终数据,成本比全表扫描还高,可以用覆盖索引优化,这样只需要遍历name字段的联合索引树就能拿到所有结果,如下:
mysql> EXPLAIN select * from employees where name > 'a';mysql> EXPLAIN select * from employees where name > 'zzz' ;②. 对于上面这两种 name>‘a’ 和 name>‘zzz’ 的执行结果,mysql最终是否选择走索引或者一张表涉及多个索引,mysql最终如何选择索引,我们可以用trace工具来一查究竟,开启trace工具会影响mysql性能,所以只能临时分析sql使用,用完之后立即关闭
trace工具用法:
--开启trace mysql> set session optimizer_trace="enabled=on",end_markers_in_json=on; mysql> select * from employees where name > 'a' order by position; mysql> SELECT * FROM information_schema.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;
