不在索引列上做任何操作(计算、函数、(自动或手动)类型转换),会导致索引失效而转向全表扫描。
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM staffs where name='july';
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+-----------------------+-----------------------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+-----------------------+-----------------------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | staffs | NULL | ref | idx_staffs_nameAgePos | idx_staffs_nameAgePos | 74 | const | 1 | 100.00 | NULL |
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+-----------------------+-----------------------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
索引列上少计算
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM staffs where left(name, 4)='july';
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | staffs | NULL | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 3 | 100.00 | Using where |
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
