create table t123

我们现在有3.1M行.
一个
explain SELECT * FROM t123 WHERE x=false;
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+---------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+---------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | t123 | ref | x | x | 1 | const | 1570707 | Using index |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+---------+-------------+
乙
explain SELECT * FROM t123 WHERE NOT `x`;
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+--------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+--------------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | t123 | index | NULL | x | 1 | NULL | 3141414 | Using where; Using index |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+--------------------------+
因此A更快,因为它能够使用本机数据类型(如在具有它的索引中所见),并且由于B处理数据转换的方式(并且确实导致表扫描)而不强制进行表扫描
它的证明在解释输出中,具有确定答案所需的行数,并且即使在两个查询的列上也没有使用索引(ref列).
