Mysql查看执行计划
 
 
一.语法
 
explain <sql语句>
 
例如: explain select * from t3 where id=3952602;
 
二.explain输出解释
 
+----+-------------+-------+-------+-------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | type  | possible_keys     | key     | key_len | ref   | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+-------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
 
1.id
  我的理解是SQL执行的顺利的标识,SQL从大到小的执行.
 
例如:
mysql> explain select * from (select * from ( select * from t3 where id=3952602) a) b;
+----+-------------+------------+--------+-------------------+---------+---------+------+------+-------+
| id | select_type | table      | type   | possible_keys     | key     | key_len | ref  | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+------------+--------+-------------------+---------+---------+------+------+-------+
|  1 | PRIMARY     | <derived2> | system | NULL              | NULL    | NULL    | NULL |    1 |       |
|  2 | DERIVED     | <derived3> | system | NULL              | NULL    | NULL    | NULL |    1 |       |
|  3 | DERIVED     | t3         | const  | PRIMARY,idx_t3_id | PRIMARY | 4       |      |    1 |       |
+----+-------------+------------+--------+-------------------+---------+---------+------+------+-------+
 
很显然这条SQL是从里向外的执行,就是从id=3 向上执行.
 
2. select_type
 
就是select类型,可以有以下几种
 
(1) SIMPLE
简单SELECT(不使用UNION或子查询等) 例如:
mysql> explain select * from t3 where id=3952602;
+----+-------------+-------+-------+-------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | type  | possible_keys     | key     | key_len | ref   | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+-------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | t3    | const | PRIMARY,idx_t3_id | PRIMARY | 4       | const |    1 |       |
