MySQLEXPLAIN可以显示估计查询语句执行计划,从中可以分析查询的执行情况是不是最优,这有助于我们对不使用索引的查询进行优化。EXPLAIN对于每个查询语句返回一行信息,它列出了一个有序的表格,MySQL处理语句的时候会读取他们。MySQL解决所有的连接都使用嵌套连接方法。这意味着MySQL读取第一张一行,然后匹配第二张表的所有行,第三张表或更多表都如此。当所有的表在处理时,MySQL会输出已经查询出来的列,并且回溯到表继续查找直到所有的行被找到,从该表读取下一行,直到程序继续处理下一张表。
当使用关键词 EXTENDED 时,EXPLAIN 会处理通过 SHOW WARNINGS 看到的一些而外信息。EXPLAIN EXTENDED 也会显示这些滤出的列。
语法:
EXPLAIN <select statement>;
输出表格字段如下:
mysql> explain select * from mysql.user where user='root';
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |

| 1 | SIMPLE | user | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 4 | Using where |

创建测试表:
create table tabname (
id int auto_increment not null primary key,
name varchar(10) null,
indate datetime null,
tid int null,
key(tid),
key(indate)
)engine=innodb;
create table tabname2 (
id int auto_increment not null primary key,
name varchar(10) null,
indate datetime null,
tid int null,
key(tid),
key(indate)
)engine=myisam;
insert into tabname(name,indate,tid) values('love',now(),2),('lucky',now(),3),('passion',now(),4);
insert into tabname2(name,indate,tid) values('love',now(),2),('lucky',now(),3),('passion',now(),4);

【type】
type | Meaning |
| 表仅一行数据 (=system table).这是const连接类型的特例。 |
| |
| |
| 对于前面表的结果集匹配查询的所有行,当连接使用索引key时,或者索引不是 |
| |
| 使用全文索引时出现。 |
| 使用了索引合并优化。(未成功) |
| 该类型将ref替换成以下子查询的格式: valueIN (SELECTprimary_key |
| 与 valueIN (SELECTkey_columnFROMsingle_table WHERE some_expr) |
| 使用索引检索给定范围内的行。 |
| |
| 对于前面表的结果集中,进行了全表扫描。最差的一种类型,应考虑查询优化了! |
查询类型性能由优到差:
system > const > eq_ref > ref > fulltext > ref_or_null > index_merge > unique_subquery > index_subquery > range > index > ALL

【Extra】
该列输出关MySQL如何解决查询的额外信息。(下面列出部分常见的)
Extra | Meaning |
| 使用过滤条件 |
| |
| |
| 没有groupby情况下使用min(),max(),或者count(*) |
| |
| 在leftjoin中匹配一行之后将不再继续查询查询 |
| 查找到第一个匹配的行之后,MySQL则会停止对当前行的搜索 |
| where子句总数失败的查询 |
| |
| 使用连接缓存 |

现在使用 EXTENDED 情况:
语法:
EXPLAIN EXTENDED <select statement>;
不使用 extended 和使用extended 的分析情况:
mysql> explain select tid from tabname;
+----+-------------+---------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+---------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+

+----+-------------+---------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> explain extended select tid from tabname;
+----+-------------+---------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+---------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | tabname | index | NULL | tid | 5 | NULL | 3 | 100.00 | Using index |
+----+-------------+---------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
可以看到,使用
extended 时,输出的最下面多了 1 条警告。 此时可以用
show warnings 来查看:
mysql> show warnings \G;
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Level: Note
Code: 1003
Message: select `test`.`tabname`.`tid` AS `tid` from `test`.`tabname`
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
ERROR:
No query specified
show warnings 显示了优化器中是怎么规范表和字段名的,在通过重写和优化规则之后的 select 语句是什么样子。
