单表扫描,MySQL索引选择不正确 并 详细解析OPTIMIZER_TRACE格式
单表扫描，MySQL索引选择不正确 并 详细解析OPTIMIZER_TRACE格式
一 表结构如下:
MySQL 5.5.30 5.6.20 版本, 表大概有815万行
CREATE TABLE t_audit_operate_log (
Fid bigint(16) AUTO_INCREMENT,
Fcreate_time int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
Fuser varchar(50) DEFAULT '',
Fip bigint(16) DEFAULT NULL,
Foperate_object_id bigint(20) DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (Fid),
KEY indx_ctime (Fcreate_time),
KEY indx_user (Fuser),
KEY indx_objid (Foperate_object_id),
KEY indx_ip (Fip)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
执行查询:
mysql> explain select count(*) from t_audit_operate_log where Fuser='XX@XX.com' and Fcreate_time>=1407081600 and Fcreate_time<=1407427199\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
id: 1
select_type: SIMPLE
table: t_audit_operate_log
type: ref
possible_keys: indx_ctime,indx_user
key: indx_user
key_len: 153
ref: const
rows: 2007326
Extra: Using where
发现,使用了一个不合适的索引, 不是很理想，于是改成指定索引：
mysql> explain select count(*) from t_audit_operate_log use index(indx_ctime) where Fuser='CY6016@cyou-inc.com' and Fcreate_time>=1407081600 and Fcreate_time<=1407427199\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
id: 1
select_type: SIMPLE
table: t_audit_operate_log
type: range
possible_keys: indx_ctime
key: indx_ctime
key_len: 5
ref: NULL
rows: 670092
Extra: Using where
实际执行耗时，后者比前者快了接近10
问题: 很奇怪，优化器为何不选择使用 indx_ctime 索引，而选择了明显会扫描更多行的 indx_user 索引。
分析2个索引的数据量如下: 两个条件的唯一性对比：
select count(*) from t_audit_operate_log where Fuser='XX@XX.com';
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 1238382 |
+----------+
select count(*) from t_audit_operate_log where Fcreate_time>=1407254400 and Fcreate_time<=1407427199;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 198920 |
+----------+
显然,使用索引indx_ctime好于indx_user,但MySQL却选择了indx_user. 为什么?
于是,使用 OPTIMIZER_TRACE进一步探索.
