经过字段类型转化后的查询不走索引

总结：索引字段上有发生int到varchar、varbinary的类型转换，不会使用到索引
而如在索引字段上发生varchar向int的类型转化，仍然会使用到索引

表结构如下：

mysql> show create table tag_item_list\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: tag_item_list
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `tag_item_list` (
  `tag_item_list_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `tag_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `item_type` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `item_id` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `list_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `deleted` tinyint(1) NOT NULL,
  `item_ext1` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `item_ext2` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `item_ext3` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `relation_ext1` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `relation_ext2` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  `relation_ext3` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`tag_item_list_id`),
  KEY `idx_iid_itp` (`item_id`,`item_type`),
  KEY `idx_tid_itp` (`tag_id`,`item_type`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=231210 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 

索引字段上有发生int到varchare、varbinary的类型转换，不会使用到索引

mysql> explain  SELECT sql_no_cache * from tag_item_list where item_id = 122 and item_type = 1 ;
