MySQL8新特性：降序索引详解
iVictor 人气:0在数据库中我们一般都会对一些字段进行索引操作,这样可以提升数据的查询速度，下面这篇文章主要给大家介绍了关于MySQL8新特性：降序索引的相关资料，需要的朋友可以参考借鉴，下面随着小编来一起学习学习吧
前言
MySQL 8.0终于支持降序索引了。其实，从语法上，MySQL 4就支持了，但正如官方文档所言，"they are parsed but ignored"，实际创建的还是升序索引。
无图无真相，同一个建表语句，看看MySQL 5.7和8.0的区别。
create table slowtech.t1(c1 int,c2 int,index idx_c1_c2(c1,c2 desc));
MySQL 5.7
mysql> show create table slowtech.t1\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Table: t1 Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t1` ( `c1` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `c2` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, KEY `idx_c1_c2` (`c1`,`c2`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 row in set (0.00 sec)
虽然c2列指定了desc，但在实际的建表语句中还是将其忽略了。再来看看MySQL 8.0的结果。
mysql> show create table slowtech.t1\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Table: t1 Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t1` ( `c1` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `c2` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, KEY `idx_c1_c2` (`c1`,`c2` DESC) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci row in set (0.00 sec)
c2列还是保留了desc子句。
降序索引的意义
如果一个查询，需要对多个列进行排序，且顺序要求不一致。在这种场景下，要想避免数据库额外的排序-“filesort”，只能使用降序索引。还是上面这张表，来看看有降序索引和没有的区别。
MySQL 5.7
mysql> explain select * from slowtech.t1 order by c1,c2 desc; +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | index | NULL | idx_c1_c2 | 10 | NULL | 1 | 100.00 | Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------------------+ row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
MySQL 8.0
mysql> explain select * from slowtech.t1 order by c1,c2 desc; +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | index | NULL | idx_c1_c2 | 10 | NULL | 1 | 100.00 | Using index | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
两者的对比可以看出，MySQL 8.0因为降序索引的存在，避免了“filesort”。
这其实是降序索引的主要应用场景。如果只对单个列进行排序，降序索引的意义不是太大，无论是升序还是降序，升序索引完全可以应付。还是同样的表，看看下面的查询。
MySQL 5.7
mysql> explain select * from slowtech.t1 order by c1; +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | index | NULL | idx_c1_c2 | 10 | NULL | 1 | 100.00 | Using index | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) mysql> explain select * from slowtech.t1 order by c1 desc; +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | index | NULL | idx_c1_c2 | 10 | NULL | 1 | 100.00 | Using index | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
虽然c1是升序索引，但在第二个查询中，对其进行降序排列时，并没有进行额外的排序，使用的还是索引。在这里，大家容易产生误区，以为升序索引就不能用于降序排列，实际上，对于索引，MySQL不仅支持正向扫描，还可以反向扫描。反向扫描的性能同样不差。以下是官方对于降序索引的压测结果，测试表也只有两列（a，b），建了一个联合索引(a desc,b asc)，感兴趣的童鞋可以看看，http://mysqlserverteam.com/mysql-8-0-labs-descending-indexes-in-mysql/
而在8.0中，对于反向扫描，有一个专门的词进行描述“Backward index scan”。
mysql> explain select * from slowtech.t1 order by c1; +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | index | NULL | idx_c1_c2 | 10 | NULL | 1 | 100.00 | Using index | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) mysql> explain select * from slowtech.t1 order by c1 desc; +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+----------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+----------------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | index | NULL | idx_c1_c2 | 10 | NULL | 1 | 100.00 | Backward index scan; Using index | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+-----------+---------+------+------+----------+----------------------------------+ row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
终于不再对group by进行隐式排序
由于降序索引的引入，MySQL 8.0再也不会对group by操作进行隐式排序。
下面看看MySQL 5.7和8中的测试情况
create table slowtech.t1(id int); insert into slowtech.t1 values(2); insert into slowtech.t1 values(3); insert into slowtech.t1 values(1);
MySQL 5.7
mysql> select * from slowtech.t1 group by id; +------+ | id | +------+ | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | +------+ rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> explain select * from slowtech.t1 group by id; +----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+---------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+---------------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 3 | 100.00 | Using temporary; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+---------------------------------+ row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
“Using filesort”，代表查询中有排序操作，从结果上看，id列确实也是升序输出。
MySQL 8.0
mysql> select * from slowtech.t1 group by id; +------+ | id | +------+ | 2 | | 3 | | 1 | +------+ rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> explain select * from slowtech.t1 group by id; +----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 3 | 100.00 | Using temporary | +----+-------------+-------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------+ row in set, 1 warning (0.01 sec)
不仅结果没有升序输出，执行计划中也没有“Using filesort”。
可见，MySQL 8.0对于group by操作确实不再进行隐式排序。
从5.7升级到8.0，依赖group by隐式排序的业务可要小心咯。
