一张图搞懂MySQL的索引失效

explain select * from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ and age = 20 and pos = ‘cxy‘ and phone = ‘18730658760‘;

和索引顺序无关，MySQL底层的优化器会进行优化，调整索引的顺序
explain select * from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ and age = 20 and pos = ‘cxy‘ and phone = ‘18730658760‘;

如果索引有多列，要遵守最左前缀法则
即查询从索引的最左前列开始并且不跳过索引中的列
explain select * from user where age = 20 and phone = ‘18730658760‘ and pos = ‘cxy‘;

如计算、函数、（自动or手动）类型转换等操作，会导致索引失效从而全表扫描
explain select * from user where left(name,5) = ‘zhangsan‘ and age = 20 and phone = ‘18730658760‘;

索引范围条件右边的索引列会失效
explain select * from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ and age > 20 and pos = ‘cxy‘;

只访问索引查询（索引列和查询列一致），减少select*
explain select name,age,pos,phone from user where age = 20;

mysql在使用不等于（!=、<>）的时候无法使用索引会导致全表扫描（除覆盖索引外）
explain select * from user where age != 20;
explain select * from user where age <> 20;

索引失效
explain select * from user where name like ‘%zhangsan‘;

索引生效
explain select * from user where name like ‘zhangsan%‘;

explain select * from user where name = 2000;

少用or
explain select * from user where name = ‘2000‘ or age = 20 or pos =‘cxy‘;

正常（索引参与了排序）
explain select * from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ and age = 20 order by age,pos;
备注：索引有两个作用：排序和查找

导致额外的文件排序（会降低性能）
explain select name,age from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ order by pos;//违反最左前缀法则
explain select name,age from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ order by pos,age;//违反最左前缀法则
explain select * from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ and age = 20 order by created_time,age;//含非索引字段

正常（索引参与了排序）
explain select name,age from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ group by age;
备注：分组之前必排序（排序同order by）

导致产生临时表（会降低性能）
explain select name,pos from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ group by pos;//违反最左前缀法则
explain select name,age from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ group by pos,age;//违反最左前缀法则
explain select name,age from user where name = ‘zhangsan‘ group by age,created_time;//含非索引字段
