MySQL怎样选择合适的索引
小强的进阶之路 人气:0这篇文章主要介绍了MySQL如何选择合适的索引，本文通过实例代码给大家介绍的非常详细，具有一定的参考借鉴价值,需要的朋友可以参考下
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。
SET SESSION optimizer_trace="enabled=off"; -- 关闭trace
