本文带领大家通过5分钟了解mysql5.7中union all用法的黑科技,需要的朋友可以参考下
union all在MySQL5.6下的表现
Part1:MySQL5.6.25
[root@HE1 ~]# MySQL -uroot -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 Server version: 5.6.25-log MySQL Community Server (GPL) Copyright (c) 2000, 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. mysql> select version(); +------------+ | version() | +------------+ | 5.6.25-log | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.26 sec) mysql> explain (select id from helei order by id) union all (select id from t where id=0 order by id); +----+--------------+------------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+-----------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+--------------+------------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+-----------------+ | 1 | PRIMARY | helei | index | NULL | idx_c1 | 4 | NULL | 5219 | Using index | | 2 | UNION | t | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 1 | Using where | | NULL | UNION RESULT | <union1> | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | Using temporary | +----+--------------+------------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+-----------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)</union1>
可以看出，在MySQL5.6版本中，执行结果如下图所示：
从执行计划来看，是把helei表的查询结果和t表的查询结果合并在了一张临时表里，然后输出给客户端。
union all在MySQL5.7/MariaDB10.1下的表现
Part1:MySQL5.7.15
[root@HE1 ~]# mysql -uroot -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 8 Server version: 5.7.15-log MySQL Community Server (GPL) Copyright (c) 2000, 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. mysql> select version(); +------------+ | version() | +------------+ | 5.7.15-log | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)、 mysql> explain (select id from helei order by id) union all (select id from t where id=0 order by id); +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ | 1 | PRIMARY | helei | NULL | index | NULL | idx_c1 | 4 | NULL | 5212 | 100.00 | Using index | | 2 | UNION | t | NULL | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 1 | 100.00 | Using where | +----+-------------+-------+------------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+ 2 rows in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
可以看出，在MySQL5.7版本中，执行结果如下图所示：
Part2:MariaDB10.1.16
[root@HE3 ~]# /usr/local/mariadb/bin/mysql -uroot -S /tmp/mariadb.sock Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MariaDB connection id is 7 Server version: 10.1.16-MariaDB MariaDB Server Copyright (c) 2000, 2016, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others. Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. MariaDB [(none)]> MariaDB [helei]> explain (select id from helei order by id) union all (select id from t where id=0 order by id); +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+-------------+ | 1 | PRIMARY | helei | index | NULL | idx_c1 | 4 | NULL | 5198 | Using index | | 2 | UNION | t | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 1 | Using where | +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+--------+---------+------+------+-------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
可以看出在MariaDB10.1中，执行结果如下图所示：
从执行结果看，无论是MySQL5.7还是MariaDB10.1，都没有创建临时表，按照顺序，helei表的查询结果首先输出到客户端，然后t表的查询结果再输出到客户端。
本文中的优化只针对union all，对union和在最外层使用order by无效。如下图是所示：
——总结——
在MySQL5.7/MariaDB10.1中，union all不再创建临时表，这样在联合查询时会减少I/O开销，在MySQL5.5/5.6中则不具备这一特性。
