问:
不是说,一条sql语句只能用一个索引么
但SELECT * FROM `comment` WHERE `toconuid` = '10' or `tocomuid` = '10'
其中 toconuid列 和 tocomuid列 分别为单列索引
explain后 显示两个索引都用了,extra为 Using union(toconuid,tocomuid); Using where
答:
凡事总有特列。
而MYSQL可以理解为把这个语句拆成了两条语句SELECT * FROM `comment` WHERE `toconuid` = '10'unionSELECT * FROM `comment` WHERE `tocomuid` = '10'
在某些情况下,or条件可以避免全表扫描的。

全表扫描了。
通常情况下, 用UNION替换WHERE子句中的OR将会起到较好的效果. 对索引列使用OR将造成全表扫描.
注意, 以上规则只针对多个索引列有效. 如果有column没有被索引, 查询效率可能会因为你没有选择OR而降低.
在下面的例子中, LOC_ID 和REGION上都建有索引. 高效:
select loc_id , loc_desc , region from location where loc_id = 10 union select loc_id , loc_desc , region from location where region = "melbourne"低效:
select loc_id , loc desc , region from location where loc_id = 10 or region = "melbourne"如果你坚持要用OR, 那就需要返回记录最少的索引列写在最前面.
这是一条简单易记的规则,但是实际的执行效果还须检验,在oracle8i下,两者的执行路径似乎是相同的. 低效: select…. from location where loc_id = 10 or loc_id = 20 or loc_id = 30 高效 select… from location where loc_in in (10,20,30);
