不知不觉过年半个多月没更新啦,不得不说老家真冷啊,完全不想伸出小二滴爪子,回到深圳开始更新啦,还是深圳暖和!

上一篇 Explain执行计划详解 中提到执行计划分析查询语句时 possible_keys 列中存在可以使用的索引,但是实际最后 key 列中却并没有使用索引,走的全表扫描,这是为啥捏?

这就涉及小二说的 MySQL 执行查询语句时需要进行的查询成本分析了,而 MySQL 提供的 trace 工具就可以让我们看到 MySQL 计算的查询成本,以及选择索引的大致分析过程。

一、示例表

-- 示例表
CREATE TABLE `employees` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(24) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT '姓名',
  `age` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' COMMENT '年龄',
  `position` varchar(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT '职位',
  `hire_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP COMMENT '入职时间',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `idx_name_age_position` (`name`,`age`,`position`) USING BTREE
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='员工记录表';

INSERT INTO employees(name,age,position,hire_time) VALUES('itwxe',22,'manager',NOW());
INSERT INTO employees(name,age,position,hire_time) VALUES('weiwei', 23,'test',NOW());
INSERT INTO employees(name,age,position,hire_time) VALUES('leilei',23,'dev',NOW());

-- 插入10w条测试数据
drop procedure if exists insert_employees; 
delimiter $$
create procedure insert_employees()        
begin
  declare i int;                    
  set i = 1;                          
  while(i <= 100000)do                 
    insert into employees(name, age, position) values(CONCAT('itwxe', i), rand() * 42 + 18, 'dev');  
    set i = i + 1;                       
  end while;
end$$
delimiter ;
call insert_employees();

二、trace使用步骤

首先需要说明的是开启 trace 工具会影响 MySQL 性能,所以只能临时分析 SQL 使用,用完之后立即关闭。

使用 trace 工具步骤:

-- 首先开启trace
mysql> set session optimizer_trace="enabled=on", end_markers_in_json=on;
-- 执行查询SQL
mysql> select * from employees where name > 'wei' order by position;
-- 查询trace字段
mysql> SELECT * FROM information_schema.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;

使用完成后关闭 trace 工具:

-- 当分析完SQL,关闭trace
mysql> set session optimizer_trace="enabled=off";

三、trace字段解析

例如这条语句:

explain select * from employees where name > 'itwxe' order by position;

explain select * from employees where name > 'wei' order by position;

explain_two_sql

可以看到第一条 SQL 中 possible_keys 有可以使用的索引 idx_name_age_position ,但是最后实际上 MySQL 没有使用 idx_name_age_position ,而是使用了全表扫描;而第二条 SQL 中使用到了 idx_name_age_position 中的 name 列,这是为什么呢?

如果非常了解 MySQL 索引底层数据结构的小伙伴应该就知道因为第二条 SQL name > 'itwxe' 扫描的联合索引 idx_name_age_position 的结果太多,回表成本太大,所以 MySQL 选择了全表扫描。要想看到 MySQL 计算的全表扫描成本和使用 idx_name_age_position 成本就得使用咱们这篇的主角 trace 工具了,以第二条SQL为例。

-- 首先开启trace
mysql> set session optimizer_trace="enabled=on", end_markers_in_json=on;
-- 执行查询SQL
mysql> select * from employees where name > 'wei' order by position;
-- 查询trace字段
mysql> SELECT * FROM information_schema.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;

执行后可以得到如下的示例结果,重要字段注释如下:

| select * from employees where name > 'wei' order by position | {
  "steps": [
    {
      "join_preparation": {  -- 第一阶段:SQL准备阶段,格式化SQL

          }
        ] /* steps */
      } /* join_preparation */
    },

可以看到预估表的访问成本计算过程中,MySQL 会计算全表扫描和可以使用的索引成本,比较各个可以使用的索引和全表扫描的查询成本,最终选择最优的一种方式去查询。例如这个例子中全表扫描成本为20306,使用 idx_name_age_position 联合索引成本为2.21,所以最终 MySQL 选择使用 idx_name_age_position 索引去执行查询。

当然 trace 工具主要看的是 MySQL 大致的优化和计算成本过程,那么 MySQL 是通过什么去计算出的这个成本呢?小二先在这里挖个坑吧,看下啥时候填上,哈哈哈~~~
