mysql 字段 null值_MySQL null值字段是否使用索引的总结

null和not null索引失效与否主要与表中字段的设立有关系，分为相应的两种情况，当对不能是null的字段使用索引时，条件无论是null或者not null 索引都失效，当对能是null的字段使用索引时，条件无论是null或者not null 索引都生效.

以下是null字段走索引的一个例子：

(root@localhost)-[09:51:01]-[(none)]>create database test;

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec)

(root@localhost)-[09:51:09]-[(none)]>CREATE TABLE `test_null` (

->   `id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,

->   `mark` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL

-> ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

(root@localhost)-[09:51:26]-[(none)]>use test

Database changed

(root@localhost)-[09:51:27]-[test]>CREATE TABLE `test_null` (

->   `id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,

->   `mark` varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL

-> ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.37 sec)

(root@localhost)-[09:51:29]-[test]>delimiter //

(root@localhost)-[09:51:37]-[test]>DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS test_null;

-> create procedure test_null(in num int)

-> BEGIN

-> DECLARE i int;

-> set i=1;

-> while (i

-> DO

->   if mod(i,10)!=0 then

->      insert into test_null values (i,concat('aaa',i));

->    else

->      insert into test_null values (null,concat('aaa',i));

->    end if;

-> set i=i+1;

-> END while;

-> END;

-> //

建议:

MySQL列中尽量避免NULL,应该指定列为NOT NULL，除非你想存储NULL。在MySQL中，含有空值的列很难进行查询优化。因为它们使得索引、索引的统计信息以及比较运算更加复杂。你应该用0、一个特殊的值或者一个空串代替空值。
