[MySQL] 查看explain中的key_len判断究竟使用了哪个索引
[MySQL] 查看explain中的key_len判断究竟使用了哪个索引
在一张表里有多个索引 , 我们where字段里条件有多个索引的值 , 那么究竟使用的哪个呢?
我们可以使用explain来查看 , 其中的key_len字段可以看得出来
比如下面这条sql
explain select * from ent_calendar_diary where email='xxxx' and diary_id=1784;
+----+-------------+--------------------+------------+-------+-------------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------------------+------------+-------+-------------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | ent_calendar_diary | NULL | const | PRIMARY,idx_email_stime | PRIMARY | 4 | const | 1 | 100.00 | NULL |
+----+-------------+--------------------+------------+-------+-------------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+possible_keys里面有两个索引字段 , 但是看key_len 是4个字节
列类型 | key_len | 备注 |
|---|---|---|
id int | key_len = 4+1 = 5 | 允许NULL，加1-byte |
id int not null | key_len = 4 | 不允许NULL |
user char(30) utf8 | key_len = 30*3+1 | 允许NULL |
user varchar(30) not null utf8 | key_len = 30*3+2 | 动态列类型，加2-bytes |
user varchar(30) utf8 | key_len = 30*3+2+1 | 动态列类型，加2-bytes；允许NULL，再加1-byte |
detail text(10) utf8 | key_len = 30*3+2+1 | TEXT列截取部分，被视为动态列类型，加2-bytes；且允许NULL |
备注，key_len 只指示了WHERE中用于条件过滤时被选中的索引列，是不包含 ORDER BY/GROUP BY
int类型并且not null 是4个字节 , 因此上面的sql是使用的主键索引
explain select * from ent_calendar_diary where email='xxxx';
+----+-------------+--------------------+------------+------+-----------------+-----------------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------------------+------------+------+-----------------+-----------------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | ent_calendar_diary | NULL | ref | idx_email_stime | idx_email_stime | 767 | const | 111 | 100.00 | NULL |
+----+-------------+--------------------+------------+------+-----------------+-----------------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+这个是767个字节 , varchar(255) not null 255 * 3 +2正好符合 , 因此是使用的email那个普通索引
