mysql表里如何加索引,如何向MySQL表添加索引？

I've got a very large MySQL table with about 150,000 rows of data. Currently, when I try and run

SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = '1';

the code runs fine as the ID field is the primary index.

However, recently for a development in the project, I have to search the database by another field. For example

SELECT * FROM table WHERE product_id = '1';

This field was not previously indexed, however, I've added it as an index, but when I try to run the above query, the results is very slow. An EXPLAIN query reveals that there is no index for the product_id field when I've already added one and as a result the query takes any where from 20 minutes to 30 minutes to return a single row.

My full EXPLAIN results are:

| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |

+----+-------------+-------+------+----------------------+------+---------+------+------+------------------+

| 1 | SIMPLE | table | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 157211 | Using where |

+----+-------------+-------+------+----------------------+------+---------+------+------+------------------+

It might be helpful to note that I've just taken a look and ID field is stored as INT whereas the PRODUCT_ID field is stored as VARCHAR. Could this be the source of the problem?

解决方案ALTER TABLE `table` ADD INDEX `product_id` (`product_id`)

Never compare integer to strings in MySQL. If id is int, remove the quotes.
