[转]多列索引
--最左前缀
--多列索引的一个优点,它通过称为最左前缀(Leftmost Prefixing)的概念体现出来。继续考虑前面的例子,现在我们有一个firstname、lastname、age列上的多列索引,我们称这个索引 为fname_lname_age。当搜索条件是以下各种列的组合时,MySQL将使用fname_lname_age索引:
firstname,lastname,age
firstname,lastname
firstname
--从另一方面理解,它相当于我们创建了(firstname,lastname,age)、(firstname,lastname)以及(firstname)这些列组合上的索引。下面这些查询都能够使用这个fname_lname_age索引:
Select peopleid FROM people Where firstname='Mike' AND lastname='Sullivan' AND age='17';
Select peopleid FROM people Where firstname='Mike' AND lastname='Sullivan';
Select peopleid FROM people Where firstname='Mike';
--下面这些查询不能够使用这个fname_lname_age索引:
Select peopleid FROM people Where lastname='Sullivan';
Select peopleid FROM people Where age='17';
Select peopleid FROM people Where lastname='Sullivan' AND age='17';
