Mysql索引实战1

对于上面这两种 name>‘a’ 和 name>‘zzz’ 的执行结果，mysql最终是否选择走索引或者一张表涉及多个索引，mysql最终如何选择索引，我们可以用trace工具来一查究竟，开启trace工具会影响mysql性能，所以只能临时分析sql使用，用完之后立即关闭
trace工具用法：

mysql> set session optimizer_trace="enabled=on",end_markers_in_json=on;  --开启trace
mysql> select * from employees where name > 'a' order by position;
mysql> SELECT * FROM information_schema.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;查看trace字段：

}结论：全表扫描的成本低于索引扫描，所以mysql最终选择全表扫描mysql> select * from employees where name > 'zzz' order by position;
mysql> SELECT * FROM information_schema.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;查看trace字段可知索引扫描的成本低于全表扫描，所以mysql最终选择索引扫描mysql> set session optimizer_trace="enabled=off";    --关闭trace

mysql> set session optimizer_trace="enabled=on",end_markers_in_json=on;  --开启trace
mysql> select * from employees where name = 'zhuge' order by position;
mysql> select * from information_schema.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;trace排序部分结果：
