MySQL索引用得好,查詢效率能提升幾倍甚至幾十倍。但很多人只知道加索引,不知道怎么加才合理,有時候反而拖慢了寫入速度或者浪費了存儲空間。其實關(guān)鍵在于理解索引的原理,以及根據(jù)查詢場景做有針對性的設(shè)計。

為什么索引不是越多越好?
很多人誤以為“加了索引就快了”,于是給每個字段都加上索引。但索引不是免費的。
- 每個索引都會占用磁盤空間
- 寫入(INSERT、UPDATE、DELETE)操作時,數(shù)據(jù)庫不僅要修改數(shù)據(jù),還要同步更新索引
- 查詢優(yōu)化器在選擇執(zhí)行計劃時,索引太多反而可能導(dǎo)致選錯路徑
舉個例子:一張用戶表,你給“用戶名”、“手機號”、“郵箱”、“注冊時間”都加了單獨索引。但實際查詢中,用戶登錄時通常是通過用戶名+密碼組合查詢。這種情況下,單字段索引就發(fā)揮不了最大作用。

聯(lián)合索引怎么設(shè)計才有效?
聯(lián)合索引(Composite Index)是提升多條件查詢效率的關(guān)鍵,但設(shè)計時要注意順序。
- 最左前綴原則是核心:比如你建了(name, age, gender)的聯(lián)合索引,只有當查詢條件包含name時,索引才可能生效
- 把區(qū)分度高的字段放在前面,比如name通常比gender更有區(qū)分度
- 不要包含太多字段,3個以內(nèi)通常就足夠
舉個實際場景:一個訂單表,你經(jīng)常按“用戶ID + 時間范圍”來篩選訂單。這時候建立(user_id, create_time)的聯(lián)合索引,就能命中查詢條件,大幅提升效率。

索引失效的常見原因有哪些?
即使加了索引,如果寫法不當,也可能會失效。常見原因包括:
- 使用函數(shù)或表達式對字段操作,比如
WHERE YEAR(create_time) = 2023
- 使用
LIKE
通配符開頭,比如LIKE '%abc'
- 查詢字段類型不匹配,比如字段是字符串,傳入數(shù)字,可能導(dǎo)致隱式轉(zhuǎn)換
- 在
OR
中混合使用索引字段和非索引字段
舉個例子:你給email字段加了索引,但查詢時寫成 WHERE LOWER(email) = 'abc@example.com'
,那這個索引就不會生效,除非你創(chuàng)建的是函數(shù)索引(MySQL 8.0支持)。
如何判斷索引有沒有被用上?
最直接的方法是使用EXPLAIN
語句查看執(zhí)行計劃。
- 查看
type
列:ref
、range
、const
表示用了索引;ALL
表示全表掃描 - 注意
key
列:顯示實際使用的索引名稱 - 如果用了聯(lián)合索引,看
key_len
可以判斷用了幾個字段
建議做法:
- 對經(jīng)常執(zhí)行的慢查詢語句,用EXPLAIN分析
- 配合慢查詢?nèi)罩?,找出需要?yōu)化的SQL
- 結(jié)合業(yè)務(wù)場景,調(diào)整索引策略
索引優(yōu)化是個細致活,不是加了就完事。關(guān)鍵是理解查詢邏輯,結(jié)合實際數(shù)據(jù)分布和訪問模式,合理設(shè)計索引結(jié)構(gòu)。基本上就這些。

When handling NULL values ??in MySQL, please note: 1. When designing the table, the key fields are set to NOTNULL, and optional fields are allowed NULL; 2. ISNULL or ISNOTNULL must be used with = or !=; 3. IFNULL or COALESCE functions can be used to replace the display default values; 4. Be cautious when using NULL values ??directly when inserting or updating, and pay attention to the data source and ORM framework processing methods. NULL represents an unknown value and does not equal any value, including itself. Therefore, be careful when querying, counting, and connecting tables to avoid missing data or logical errors. Rational use of functions and constraints can effectively reduce interference caused by NULL.

mysqldump is a common tool for performing logical backups of MySQL databases. It generates SQL files containing CREATE and INSERT statements to rebuild the database. 1. It does not back up the original file, but converts the database structure and content into portable SQL commands; 2. It is suitable for small databases or selective recovery, and is not suitable for fast recovery of TB-level data; 3. Common options include --single-transaction, --databases, --all-databases, --routines, etc.; 4. Use mysql command to import during recovery, and can turn off foreign key checks to improve speed; 5. It is recommended to test backup regularly, use compression, and automatic adjustment.

To view the size of the MySQL database and table, you can query the information_schema directly or use the command line tool. 1. Check the entire database size: Execute the SQL statement SELECTtable_schemaAS'Database',SUM(data_length index_length)/1024/1024AS'Size(MB)'FROMinformation_schema.tablesGROUPBYtable_schema; you can get the total size of all databases, or add WHERE conditions to limit the specific database; 2. Check the single table size: use SELECTta

Character set and sorting rules issues are common when cross-platform migration or multi-person development, resulting in garbled code or inconsistent query. There are three core solutions: First, check and unify the character set of database, table, and fields to utf8mb4, view through SHOWCREATEDATABASE/TABLE, and modify it with ALTER statement; second, specify the utf8mb4 character set when the client connects, and set it in connection parameters or execute SETNAMES; third, select the sorting rules reasonably, and recommend using utf8mb4_unicode_ci to ensure the accuracy of comparison and sorting, and specify or modify it through ALTER when building the library and table.

GROUPBY is used to group data by field and perform aggregation operations, and HAVING is used to filter the results after grouping. For example, using GROUPBYcustomer_id can calculate the total consumption amount of each customer; using HAVING can filter out customers with a total consumption of more than 1,000. The non-aggregated fields after SELECT must appear in GROUPBY, and HAVING can be conditionally filtered using an alias or original expressions. Common techniques include counting the number of each group, grouping multiple fields, and filtering with multiple conditions.

MySQL supports transaction processing, and uses the InnoDB storage engine to ensure data consistency and integrity. 1. Transactions are a set of SQL operations, either all succeed or all fail to roll back; 2. ACID attributes include atomicity, consistency, isolation and persistence; 3. The statements that manually control transactions are STARTTRANSACTION, COMMIT and ROLLBACK; 4. The four isolation levels include read not committed, read submitted, repeatable read and serialization; 5. Use transactions correctly to avoid long-term operation, turn off automatic commits, and reasonably handle locks and exceptions. Through these mechanisms, MySQL can achieve high reliability and concurrent control.

The most direct way to connect to MySQL database is to use the command line client. First enter the mysql-u username -p and enter the password correctly to enter the interactive interface; if you connect to the remote database, you need to add the -h parameter to specify the host address. Secondly, you can directly switch to a specific database or execute SQL files when logging in, such as mysql-u username-p database name or mysql-u username-p database name

The setting of character sets and collation rules in MySQL is crucial, affecting data storage, query efficiency and consistency. First, the character set determines the storable character range, such as utf8mb4 supports Chinese and emojis; the sorting rules control the character comparison method, such as utf8mb4_unicode_ci is case-sensitive, and utf8mb4_bin is binary comparison. Secondly, the character set can be set at multiple levels of server, database, table, and column. It is recommended to use utf8mb4 and utf8mb4_unicode_ci in a unified manner to avoid conflicts. Furthermore, the garbled code problem is often caused by inconsistent character sets of connections, storage or program terminals, and needs to be checked layer by layer and set uniformly. In addition, character sets should be specified when exporting and importing to prevent conversion errors
