MySQL为什么"错误"选择代价更大的索引

本文主要是介绍MySQL为什么"错误"选择代价更大的索引,对大家解决编程问题具有一定的参考价值,需要的程序猿们随着小编来一起学习吧!

1.问题描述

群友提出问题,表里有两个列c1、c2,分别为INT、VARCHAR类型,且分别创建了unique key。

SQL查询的条件是 WHERE c1 = ? AND c2 = ?,用EXPLAIN查看执行计划,发现优化器优先选择了VARCHAR类型的c2列索引。

他表示很不理解,难道不应该选择看起来代价更小的INT类型的c1列吗?

2.问题复现

创建测试表t1:

[root@yejr.run]> CREATE TABLE `t1` (
  `c1` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `c2` int unsigned NOT NULL,
  `c3` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  `c4` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`c1`),
  UNIQUE KEY `k3` (`c3`),
  UNIQUE KEY `k2` (`c2`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

利用 mysql_random_data_load 写入一万行数据:

mysql_random_data_load -h127.0.0.1 -uuser -p123456 wang t1 10000

查看执行计划:

mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE c2 = 950391508 AND c3 = 'Patrick Price'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
           id: 1
  select_type: SIMPLE
        table: t1
   partitions: NULL
         type: const
possible_keys: k3,k2
          key: k3
      key_len: 82
          ref: const
         rows: 1
     filtered: 100.00
        Extra: NULL
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.01 sec)

mysql> 

可以看到优化器的确选择了 k3 索引,而非"预期"的 k2 索引,这是为什么呢?

3.问题分析

其实原因很简单粗暴:优化器认为这两个索引选择的代价都是一样的,只是优先选中排在前面的那个索引而已。

再建一个相同的表 t2,只不过把 k2、k3 的索引创建顺序对调下:

[root@yejr.run]> CREATE TABLE `t2` (
  `c1` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `c2` int unsigned NOT NULL,
  `c3` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  `c4` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`c1`),
  UNIQUE KEY `k2` (`c2`),
  UNIQUE KEY `k3` (`c3`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

再次利用利用 mysql_random_data_load 写入一万行数据:

mysql_random_data_load -h127.0.0.1 -uuser -p123456 wang t2 10000

再查看执行计划:

mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t2 WHERE c2 = 1051998464 AND c3 = 'Tammy Bell'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
           id: 1
  select_type: SIMPLE
        table: t2
   partitions: NULL
         type: const
possible_keys: k2,k3
          key: k2
      key_len: 4
          ref: const
         rows: 1
     filtered: 100.00
        Extra: NULL
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.01 sec)

mysql> 

我们利用 EXPLAIN ANALYZE 来查看下两次执行计划的代价对比:

-- 查看t1表执行计划代价
mysql> EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE c2 = 950391508 AND c3 = 'Patrick Price'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
EXPLAIN: -> Rows fetched before execution  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1) (actual time=0.002..0.003 rows=1 loops=1)

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> 

-- 查看t2表执行计划代价
mysql> EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM t2 WHERE c2 = 1051998464 AND c3 = 'Tammy Bell'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
EXPLAIN: -> Rows fetched before execution  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1) (actual time=0.002..0.003 rows=1 loops=1)

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> 

可以看到,很明显代价都是一样的。

再利用 OPTIMIZE_TRACE 查看执行计划,也能看到两个SQL的代价是一样的(重点查看rows_estimation部分):

所以,优化器认为选择哪个索引都是一样的,就看哪个索引排序更靠前。

从执行SELECT时的debug trace结果也能佐证:

4.问题延伸

到这里,我们不禁有疑问,这两个索引的代价真的是一样吗?

就让我们用 mysqlslap 来做个简单对比测试吧:

-- 测试1:对c2列随机point select

可以看到,如果是走 c3 列索引,耗时会比走 c2 列索引多出来约 4%(在我的环境下测试的结果,不同环境、不同数据量可能也不同)。

看来,MySQL优化器还是有必要进一步提高的哟 :)

测试使用版本:MySQL 8.0.27(MySQL 5.6.39结果亦是如此)。
