文章标签 mysql一次只能执行一个索引二叉树 mysql ide 文章分类 MySQL 数据库

起因，今天有同学问一个sql的问题，sql的where语句中的查询条件有两个列，每个列都建了单列索引，但通过explain查询计划看到只使用了一个索引，不知道为什么。

我在自己机器上试了下，使用的mysql官方提供的sakila库，结果如下：

mysql> explain select customer_id, rental_id from payment where customer_id=500 and rental_id=9290;
+----+-------------+---------+------+--------------------------------------+-------------------+---------+-------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+---------+------+--------------------------------------+-------------------+---------+-------+------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | payment | ref | idx_fk_customer_id,fk_payment_rental | fk_payment_rental | 5 | const | 1 | Using where |
+----+-------------+---------+------+--------------------------------------+-------------------+---------+-------+------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

首先思考下，为什么两列都有索引，最终却选择了rental_id索引列，通过trace查看：

mysql> select * from information_schema.optimizer_trace \G;

从considered_execution_plans中可以看到，选择customer_id的cost为33.6，而rental的cost为1.2，故选择了rental作为实际使用的索引。

那为什么存在两个索引的情况下，只选择了一列索引呢，以下是引用自其它文章的分析：

与其说是“数据库查询只能用到一个索引”，倒不是说是和全表扫描/只使用一个索引的速度比起来，去分析两个索引二叉树更加耗费时间，所以绝大多数情况下数据库都是是用一个索引。

如这条语句：

select count(1) from table1 where column1 = 1 and column2 = 'foo' and column3 = 'bar'

我们来想象一下当数据库有N个索引并且查询中分别都要用上他们的情况：

查询优化器(用大白话说就是生成执行计划的那个东西)需要进行N次主二叉树查找[这里主二叉树的意思是最外层的索引节点]，此处的查找流程大概如下：

查出第一条column1主二叉树等于1的值，然后去第二条column2主二叉树查出foo的值并且当前行的coumn1必须等于1，最后去column主二叉树查找bar的值并且column1必须等于1和column2必须等于foo。

如果这样的流程被查询优化器执行一遍，就算不死也半条命了，查询优化器可等不及把以上计划都执行一遍，贪婪算法(最近邻居算法)可不允许这种情况的发生，所以当遇到以下语句的时候，数据库只要用到第一个筛选列的索引(column1)，就会直接去进行表扫描了。

select count(1) from table1 where column1 = 1 and column2 = 'foo' and column3 = 'bar'

所以与其说是数据库只支持一条查询语句只使用一个索引，倒不如说N条独立索引同时在一条语句使用的消耗比只使用一个索引还要慢。

所以如上条的情况，最佳推荐是使用index(column1,column2,column3) 这种联合索引，此联合索引可以把b+tree结构的优势发挥得淋漓尽致：

一条主二叉树(column=1)，查询到column=1节点后基于当前节点进行二级二叉树column2=foo的查询，在二级二叉树查询到column2=foo后，去三级二叉树column3=bar查找。

总结起来就是一句话：mysql认为在查N条独立索引比查一个索引的消耗更大，效率更低，更慢。

那么什么情况下可以使用多个索引呢，答案是当使用索引合并时，会使用多个索引列，以下为示例：

mysql> explain select customer_id, rental_id from payment where customer_id=500 or rental_id=9290;
+----+-------------+---------+-------------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+---------+------+------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+---------+-------------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+---------+------+------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | payment | index_merge | idx_fk_customer_id,fk_payment_rental | idx_fk_customer_id,fk_payment_rental | 2,5 | NULL | 29 | Using union(idx_fk_customer_id,fk_payment_rental); Using where |
+----+-------------+---------+-------------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+---------+------+------+----------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

下面是用trace追踪到的细节：
