optimizer_trace

《极客时间》 16篇
/* 打开optimizer_trace，只对本线程有效 */
SET optimizer_trace='enabled=on'; 

/* @a保存Innodb_rows_read的初始值 */
select VARIABLE_VALUE into @a from  performance_schema.session_status where variable_name = 'Innodb_rows_read';

/* 执行语句 */
select city, name,age from t where city='杭州' order by name limit 1000; 

/* 查看 OPTIMIZER_TRACE 输出 */
SELECT * FROM `information_schema`.`OPTIMIZER_TRACE`\G

/* @b保存Innodb_rows_read的当前值 */
select VARIABLE_VALUE into @b from performance_schema.session_status where variable_name = 'Innodb_rows_read';

/* 计算Innodb_rows_read差值 */
select @b-@a;

explain的rows 和 实际扫描的函数相差巨大
