使用use index优化sql查询的详细介绍

先看一下arena_match_index的表结构,大家注意表的索引结构

复制代码代码如下:

CREATE TABLE `arena_match_index` (
  `tid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `mid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `group` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `round` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `day` date NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00',
  `begintime` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  UNIQUE KEY `tm` (`tid`,`mid`),
  KEY `mid` (`mid`),
  KEY `begintime` (`begintime`),
  KEY `dg` (`day`,`group`),
  KEY `td` (`tid`,`day`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8


接着看下面的sql:

复制代码代码如下:

SELECT round  FROM arena_match_index WHERE `day` = '2010-12-31' AND `group` = 18 AND `begintime` < '2010-12-31 12:14:28' order by begintime LIMIT 1; 


这条sql的查询条件显示可能使用的索引有`begintime`和`dg`,但是由于使用了order by begintime排序mysql最后选择使用`begintime`索引,explain的结果为:

复制代码代码如下:

mysql> explain SELECT round  FROM arena_match_index  WHERE `day` = '2010-12-31' AND `group` = 18 AND `begintime` < '2010-12-31 12:14:28' order by begintime LIMIT 1;
+----+-------------+-------------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+--------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table             | type  | possible_keys | key       | key_len | ref  | rows   | Extra       |
+----+-------------+-------------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+--------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | arena_match_index | range | begintime,dg  |<STRONG> </STRONG>begintime<STRONG> </STRONG>| 8       | NULL | 226480 | Using where | 
+----+-------------+-------------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+--------+-------------+


explain的结果显示使用`begintime`索引要扫描22w条记录,这样的查询性能是非常糟糕的,实际的执行情况也是初次执行(还未有缓存数据时)时需要30秒以上的时间。

 

实际上这个查询使用`dg`联合索引的性能更好,因为同一天同一个小组内也就几十场比赛,因此应该优先使用`dg`索引定位到匹配的数据集合再进行排序,那么如何告诉mysql使用指定索引呢?使用use index语句:

复制代码代码如下:

mysql> explain SELECT round  FROM arena_match_index use index (dg) WHERE `day` = '2010-12-31' AND `group` = 18 AND `begintime` < '2010-12-31 12:14:28' order by begintime LIMIT 1;
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-----------------------------+
| id | select_type | table             | type | possible_keys | key  | key_len | ref         | rows | Extra                       |
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-----------------------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | arena_match_index | ref  | dg            | dg   | 7       | const,const |  757 | Using where; Using filesort | 
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-----------------------------+


explain结果显示使用`dg`联合索引只需要扫描757条数据,性能直接提升了上百倍,实际的执行情况也是几乎立即就返回了查询结果。

 

在最初的查询语句中只要把order by begintime去掉,mysql就会使用`dg`索引了,再次印证了order by会影响mysql的索引选择策略!

复制代码代码如下:

mysql> explain SELECT round  FROM arena_match_index  WHERE `day` = '2010-12-31' AND `group` = 18 AND `begintime` < '2010-12-31 12:14:28'  LIMIT 1;
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table             | type | possible_keys | key  | key_len | ref         | rows | Extra       |
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | arena_match_index | ref  | begintime,dg  | dg   | 7       | const,const |  717 | Using where | 
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-------------+


通过上面的例子说mysql有时候也并不聪明,并非总能做出最优选择,还是需要我们开发者对它进行“调教”!
