不久前,我开始优化 mysql db 的查询。我创建了一些索引并决定使用语法中的show index查看它们的参数。并看到基数不等于某些列的不同计数。
所以,我有桌子
CREATE TABLE `item_owners` (
`uid` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`version` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
`type_id` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`owner_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`item_id` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`status_id` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`uid`),
KEY `FK181EADBC7346EE24` (`status_id`),
KEY `FK181EADBC90094D43` (`type_id`),
KEY `FK181EADBC499E38CA` (`item_id`),
CONSTRAINT `FK181EADBC499E38CA` FOREIGN KEY (`item_id`) REFERENCES `items` (`uid`),
CONSTRAINT `FK181EADBC7346EE24` FOREIGN KEY (`status_id`) REFERENCES `statuses` (`uid`),
CONSTRAINT `FK181EADBC90094D43` FOREIGN KEY (`type_id`) REFERENCES `types` (`uid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
在那个表中,我有 2M 行(实际上是 2M uniq PK)、500k uniq item_id、5 uniq status_id 和 20 uniq type_id
但是当我执行
show index from item_owners
我有
+-------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+
| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment | Index_comment |
+-------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+
| item_owners | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | uid | A | 1893427 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | |
| item_owners | 1 | FK181EADBC7346EE24 | 1 | status_id | A | 17 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | |
| item_owners | 1 | FK181EADBC90094D43 | 1 | type_id | A | 17 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | |
| item_owners | 1 | FK181EADBC499E38CA | 1 | item_id | A | 148000 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | |
+-------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+
然后我决定执行
analyze table item_owners
在这个输出之后是:
+-------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+
| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment | Index_comment |
+-------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+
| item_owners | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | uid | A | 2005419 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | |
| item_owners | 1 | FK181EADBC7346EE24 | 1 | status_id | A | 17 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | |
| item_owners | 1 | FK181EADBC90094D43 | 1 | type_id | A | 17 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | |
| item_owners | 1 | FK181EADBC499E38CA | 1 | item_id | A | 2005419 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | |
+-------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+
有谁知道这怎么可能?,因为我真的误解了为什么基数不等于 uniq 行数,即使是 PK 索引。
