以前我一直以为,MySQL优化器只会根据数据的基数来判断执行计划的优化,在5.0时,基本上只要基数达不到要求,MySQL就不会选择索引。不过从今天优化一组SQL的情况来看,5.1早已不是这样,MySQL优化器考虑了数据分布的影响,使用不同的值,对同一条SQL可能产生完全不同的执行计划。可以做如下测试。

有一张表 A (id,c1),假设采用“SELECT c1,count(*) FROM table GROUP BY c1”的方式来查看每一列每个值的数据量的结果如下:

c1 count(*)
1 100
2 1000
3 10000
4 100000

假设现在c1上有个索引 idx_1 (c1)。
当我采用只有100个值的1作为条件的筛选值查看执行计划时,
MySQL会毫不犹豫的走 idx_1 索引。
但是改为4作为筛选值,基本上都可以看到全表扫描的执行计划。

<span style="color: #993333; font-weight: bold;">EXPLAIN</span> <span style="color: #993333; font-weight: bold;">SELECT</span> <span style="color: #66cc66;">*</span> <span style="color: #993333; font-weight: bold;">FROM</span> A <span style="color: #993333; font-weight: bold;">WHERE</span> c1<span style="color: #66cc66;">=</span><span style="color: #cc66cc;">1</span>;
<span style="color: #993333; font-weight: bold;">EXPLAIN</span> <span style="color: #993333; font-weight: bold;">SELECT</span> <span style="color: #66cc66;">*</span> <span style="color: #993333; font-weight: bold;">FROM</span> A <span style="color: #993333; font-weight: bold;">WHERE</span> c1<span style="color: #66cc66;">=</span><span style="color: #cc66cc;">4</span>;

虽然从源码目录的 sql/sql_select.cc 中并未找到具体的优化代码,但是从sql/opt_range.cc来看,至少RANGE查询的优化已经通过蒙特卡罗方法来估算要选择的值的出现概率,那么有理由相信,如此简单的选择查询,MYSQL肯定也估算了要查询的值出现的概率,然后以此为依据计算访问路径。
所以,一条SQL优化时,不仅要看数据的离散度,还得看经常被当作筛选值的数值唯一性是否够好,如果被筛选的值唯一性不好,建立索引依然是没有什么意义的,因为MySQL根本不会选择这个索引。

Best practices for handling string data types and indexes in MySQL include: 1) Selecting the appropriate string type, such as CHAR for fixed length, VARCHAR for variable length, and TEXT for large text; 2) Be cautious in indexing, avoid over-indexing, and create indexes for common queries; 3) Use prefix indexes and full-text indexes to optimize long string searches; 4) Regularly monitor and optimize indexes to keep indexes small and efficient. Through these methods, we can balance read and write performance and improve database efficiency.

When selecting MySQL's BLOB and TEXT data types, BLOB is suitable for storing binary data, and TEXT is suitable for storing text data. 1) BLOB is suitable for binary data such as pictures and audio, 2) TEXT is suitable for text data such as articles and comments. When choosing, data properties and performance optimization must be considered.
