1.使用explain查询select查询语句执行计划

mysql> select * from baba where name ='fjdsjf';

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

| id   | name   |

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

|    1 | fjdsjf |

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

查询该sql语句的执行计划

mysql> explain select * from baba where name ='fjdsjf' \G;

*************************** 1. row ***************************

           id: 1

  select_type: SIMPLE

        table: baba

         type: ALL

possible_keys: NULL

          key: NULL

      key_len: NULL

          ref: NULL

         rows: 2

        Extra: Using where

1 row in set (0.00 sec)  //该条sql语句没有走索引


增加索引：

mysql> create index index_baba on baba(name);

Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.09 sec)

Records: 2  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> desc baba;

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

| Field | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |

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

| id    | int(11)     | YES  |     | NULL    |       |

| name  | varchar(30) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |

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

mysql> explain select * from baba where name ='fjdsjf' \G;

*************************** 1. row ***************************

           id: 1

  select_type: SIMPLE

        table: baba

         type: ref

possible_keys: index_baba

          key: index_baba

      key_len: 33

          ref: const

         rows: 1    //搜索到一行，就找到所

        Extra: Using where


2. 学会使用执行计划帮助

mysql> help explain

Name: 'EXPLAIN'

Description:

Syntax:

EXPLAIN [explain_type] SELECT select_options


explain_type:

    EXTENDED

  | PARTITIONS


Or:


EXPLAIN tbl_name


The EXPLAIN statement can be used either as a way to obtain information

about how MySQL executes a statement, or as a synonym for DESCRIBE:


o When you precede a SELECT statement with the keyword EXPLAIN, MySQL

  displays information from the optimizer about the query execution

  plan. That is, MySQL explains how it would process the statement,

  including information about how tables are joined and in which order.

  EXPLAIN EXTENDED can be used to obtain additional information.


  For information about using EXPLAIN and EXPLAIN EXTENDED to obtain

  query execution plan information, see

  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/using-explain.html.
