本文将尝试介绍MySQL索引存储相关的数据结构。程序=数据结构+算法,了解数据结构,然后就可以进一步了解MySQL源码中如何使用索引,如何选择自己的执行计划。
MySQL使用TABLE对象来描述一个数据表,那么数据表的索引是如何描述,索引的统计信息又是如何存储的呢? 例如我们有如下数据表:
CREATE TABLE `users` (`id` int(11) NOT NULL,`nick` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL,`reg_date` datetime DEFAULT NULL,PRIMARY KEY (`id`),KEY `IND_NICK` (`nick`),KEY `IND_REGDATE` (`reg_date`))
CREATETABLE`users`( `id`int(11)NOTNULL, `nick`varchar(32)DEFAULTNULL, `reg_date`datetimeDEFAULTNULL, PRIMARYKEY(`id`), KEY`IND_NICK`(`nick`), KEY`IND_REGDATE`(`reg_date`) ) |
该表有索引,PRIMARY KEY、IND_NICK、IND_REGDATE,我们来看看MySQL内部是如何存储这三个索引,以及如何使用这些索引的统计信息的。下图,描述了存储一个数据表索引的主要结构:
某个索引(例如IND_NICK)的基本信息是存储在KEY结构(table->key_info数组)中,这里,我们来打印索引IND_NICK的基本信息来观察KEY结构:
(gdb) p s->table->key_info[1]$26 = {key_length = 67, flags = 104, key_parts = 1, extra_length = 3, usable_key_parts = 1, block_size = 1024, algorithm = HA_KEY_ALG_UNDEF, {parser = 0x0, parser_name = 0x0}, key_part = 0x7f6514020860, name = 0x7f651401fc11 "IND_NICK", rec_per_key = 0x7f651401fa68, handler = {bdb_return_if_eq = 0}, table = 0x7f6514023d30}
(gdb)ps->table->key_info[1] $26={key_length=67,flags=104,key_parts=1,extra_length=3, usable_key_parts=1, block_size=1024, algorithm=HA_KEY_ALG_UNDEF, {parser=0x0,parser_name=0x0 },key_part=0x7f6514020860, name=0x7f651401fc11"IND_NICK", rec_per_key=0x7f651401fa68, handler={bdb_return_if_eq=0 },table=0x7f6514023d30 } |
key_length = 67: 表示这个索引入口长为67(不包括rowid),32*2 + 1(NULL) + VARCHAR变成信息
flags = 104 这是一个索引信息的标志位,存储了这个索引的一些重要属性,例如是不是唯一索引,索引中有没有变长字段,是不是一个全文索引等,104表示为二进制,即是1101000,也等于8+32+64,也就是HA_VAR_LENGTH_KEY|HA_BINARY_PACK_KEY|HA_NULL_PART_KEY
更多flags类型:
#define HA_NOSAME 1 /* Set if not dupplicated records */#define HA_PACK_KEY 2 /* Pack string key to previous key */#define HA_SPACE_PACK_USED 4 /* Test for if SPACE_PACK used */#define HA_VAR_LENGTH_KEY 8#define HA_AUTO_KEY 16#define HA_BINARY_PACK_KEY 32 /* Packing of all keys to prev key */#define HA_NULL_PART_KEY 64#define HA_FULLTEXT 128 /* For full-text search */#define HA_UNIQUE_CHECK 256 /* Check the key for uniqueness */#define HA_SPATIAL 1024 /* For spatial search */#define HA_NULL_ARE_EQUAL 2048 /* NULL in key are cmp as equal */#define HA_GENERATED_KEY 8192 /* Automaticly generated key */key_part = 0x7f6514020860 这个指针指向一个KEY_PART_INFO数组,存储
#define HA_NOSAME 1 /* Set if not dupplicated records */ #define HA_PACK_KEY 2 /* Pack string key to previous key */ #define HA_SPACE_PACK_USED 4 /* Test for if SPACE_PACK used */ #define HA_VAR_LENGTH_KEY 8 #define HA_AUTO_KEY 16 #define HA_BINARY_PACK_KEY 32 /* Packing of all keys to prev key */ #define HA_NULL_PART_KEY 64 #define HA_FULLTEXT 128 /* For full-text search */ #define HA_UNIQUE_CHECK 256 /* Check the key for uniqueness */ #define HA_SPATIAL 1024 /* For spatial search */ #define HA_NULL_ARE_EQUAL 2048 /* NULL in key are cmp as equal */ #define HA_GENERATED_KEY 8192 /* Automaticly generated key */ key_part=0x7f6514020860这个指针指向一个KEY_PART_INFO数组,存储 |
了索引各个列的信息。
(gdb) p s->table->key_info[1]->key_part[0]$29 = {field = 0x7f6514020588, offset = 5, null_offset = 0, length = 64, store_length = 67, key_type = 32768, fieldnr = 2, key_part_flag = 24, type = 15 '/017', null_bit = 1 '/001'}
(gdb)ps->table->key_info[1]->key_part[0] $29={field=0x7f6514020588, offset=5,null_offset=0,length=64,store_length=67, key_type=32768, fieldnr=2,key_part_flag=24, type=15'/017',null_bit=1'/001' } |
field = 0x7f6514020588 指向这个索引列使用数据表的那一列
offset = 5 改索引列从索引串的第一个偏移开始
null_offset = 0 null信息存储偏移
length = 64, 索引串长度
store_length = 67, 整个索引入口长度
…
(gdb) p *s->table->key_info[1]->key_part[0]->field$36 = {...table = 0x7f6514023d30, ...field_name = 0x7f651401fcf4 "nick", ...key_start = {map = 2}, part_of_key = {map = 2}, part_of_key_not_clustered = {map = 2}, part_of_sortkey = {map = 2}, ...}
(gdb)p *s->table->key_info[1]->key_part[0]->field $36={...table=0x7f6514023d30, ...field_name=0x7f651401fcf4"nick", ...key_start={map=2},part_of_key={map=2},part_of_key_not_clustered={ map=2},part_of_sortkey={ map=2},...} |
table = 0x7f6514023d30 指向该列所在的数据表
field_name = 0x7f651401fcf4 “nick” 列名
key_start = 2 包含这个字段且为索引第一个字段的索引编号,2的二进制是10,也就是第二索引以该字段为起始
下面摘抄函数store_create_info(显示SHOW CREATE TABLE命令)显示索引信息部分的代码如下:
1351 for (uint i=0 ; i keys ; i++,key_info++)1352 {1353 KEY_PART_INFO *key_part= key_info->key_part;...1357 if (i == primary_key && !strcmp(key_info->name, primary_key_name))1358 {1359 found_primary=1;1364 packet->append(STRING_WITH_LEN("PRIMARY KEY"));1365 }1366 else if (key_info->flags & HA_NOSAME)1367 packet->append(STRING_WITH_LEN("UNIQUE KEY "));...1372 else1373 packet->append(STRING_WITH_LEN("KEY "));...1380 for (uint j=0 ; j key_parts ; j++,key_part++)1381 {...1401 }1402 packet->append(')');1403 store_key_options(thd, packet, table, key_info);1404 if (key_info->parser)1405 {...1410 }1411 }
1351for(uinti=0;i 1353KEY_PART_INFO *key_part=key_info->key_part; ...1357if(i==primary_key&&!strcmp(key_info->name,primary_key_name)) 1358{1359found_primary=1; 1364packet->append(STRING_WITH_LEN("PRIMARY KEY")); 1365}1366elseif(key_info->flags&HA_NOSAME) 1367packet->append(STRING_WITH_LEN("UNIQUE KEY ")); ...1372else1373packet->append(STRING_WITH_LEN("KEY ")); ...1380for(uintj=0;j 1402packet->append(')'); 1403store_key_options(thd,packet,table,key_info); 1404if(key_info->parser) 1405{...1410}1411} |
小结:
(1) 可以看到MySQL如何遍历一个表的所有索引
key_info= table->key_info;for (uint i=0 ; i keys ; i++,key_info++){...}
key_info=table->key_info; for(uinti=0;i |
(2) 可以看到MySQL如何根据key_info->flags字段如何区分唯一索引,全文索引等
(3) 可以看到MySQL如何遍历一个索引的所有字段:
KEY_PART_INFO *key_part= key_info->key_part;for (uint j=0 ; j key_parts ; j++,key_part++){...}
KEY_PART_INFO *key_part=key_info->key_part; for(uintj=0;j |
(4) 查看完整的这个函数还可以看到MySQL如何读取数据表的各个column
