先来看一个栗子
EXPLAIN select * from employees where name > 'a';
如果用name索引查找数据需要遍历name字段联合索引树,然后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可以拿到所有的结果。
EXPLAIN select name,age,position from employees where name > 'a';
可以看到通过select出的字段是覆盖索引,MySQL底层使用了索引优化。在看另一个case:
EXPLAIN select * from employees where name > 'zzz';
对于上面的这两种 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,可以通过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,用完之后需要立即关闭。
SET SESSION optimizer_trace="enabled=on",end_markers_in_json=on; --开启trace SELECT * FROM employees WHERE name > 'a' ORDER BY position; SELECT * FROM information_schema.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;
看trace字段:

全表扫描的成本低于索引扫描, 索引MySQL最终会选择全表扫描。

查看trace字段可知索引扫描的成本低于全表扫描的成本,所以MySQL最终选择索引扫描。
