1、LIMIT 语句

分页查询是最常用的场景之一,但也通常也是最容易出问题的地方。比如对于下面简单的语句,一般 DBA 想到的办法是在 type, name, create_time 字段上加组合索引。这样条件排序都能有效的利用到索引,性能迅速提升。

SELECT *  FROM   operation  WHEREtype = 'SQLStats'        ANDname = 'SlowLog' ORDERBY create_time  LIMIT1000, 10;

好吧,可能90%以上的 DBA 解决该问题就到此为止。但当 LIMIT 子句变成 “LIMIT 1000000,10” 时,程序员仍然会抱怨:我只取10条记录为什么还是慢?

要知道数据库也并不知道第1000000条记录从什么地方开始,即使有索引也需要从头计算一次。出现这种性能问题,多数情形下是程序员偷懒了。

在前端数据浏览翻页,或者大数据分批导出等场景下,是可以将上一页的最大值当成参数作为查询条件的。SQL 重新设计如下:

SELECT   *  FROM     operation  WHEREtype = 'SQLStats' ANDname = 'SlowLog' AND      create_time > '2017-03-16 14:00:00' ORDERBY create_time limit10;

在新设计下查询时间基本固定,不会随着数据量的增长而发生变化。

2、隐式转换

SQL语句中查询变量和字段定义类型不匹配是另一个常见的错误。比如下面的语句:

mysql> explain extended SELECT *       > FROM   my_balance b       > WHERE  b.bpn = 14000000123       >       AND b.isverified IS NULL ; mysql> show warnings; | Warning | 1739 | Cannot use ref access on index 'bpn' due to type or collation conversion on field 'bpn'

其中字段 bpn 的定义为 varchar(20),MySQL 的策略是将字符串转换为数字之后再比较。函数作用于表字段,索引失效。

上述情况可能是应用程序框架自动填入的参数,而不是程序员的原意。现在应用框架很多很繁杂,使用方便的同时也小心它可能给自己挖坑。

3、关联更新、删除

虽然 MySQL5.6 引入了物化特性,但需要特别注意它目前仅仅针对查询语句的优化。对于更新或删除需要手工重写成 JOIN。

比如下面 UPDATE 语句,MySQL 实际执行的是循环/嵌套子查询(DEPENDENT SUBQUERY),其执行时间可想而知。

UPDATE operation o  SETstatus = 'applying' WHERE  o.id IN (SELECTid                 FROM   (SELECT o.id,                                 o.status                          FROM   operation o                          WHERE  o.group = 123                                AND o.status NOTIN ( 'done' )                          ORDERBY o.parent,                                    o.id                          LIMIT1) t);

执行计划:

+----+--------------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | id | select_type        | table | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref   | rows | Extra                                               | +----+--------------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | 1  | PRIMARY            | o     | index |               | PRIMARY | 8       |       | 24   | Using where; Using temporary                        | | 2  | DEPENDENT SUBQUERY |       |       |               |         |         |       |      | Impossible WHERE noticed after reading const tables | | 3  | DERIVED            | o     | ref   | idx_2,idx_5   | idx_5   | 8       | const | 1    | Using where; Using filesort                         | +----+--------------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+

重写为 JOIN 之后,子查询的选择模式从 DEPENDENT SUBQUERY 变成 DERIVED,执行速度大大加快,从7秒降低到2毫秒。

UPDATE operation o         JOIN  (SELECT o.id,                              o.status                       FROM   operation o                       WHERE  o.group = 123                             AND o.status NOTIN ( 'done' )                       ORDERBY o.parent,                                 o.id                       LIMIT1) t          ON o.id = t.id  SETstatus = 'applying'

执行计划简化为:

+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+-------+---------+-------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key   | key_len | ref   | rows | Extra                                               | +----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+-------+---------+-------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | 1  | PRIMARY     |       |      |               |       |         |       |      | Impossible WHERE noticed after reading const tables | | 2  | DERIVED     | o     | ref  | idx_2,idx_5   | idx_5 | 8       | const | 1    | Using where; Using filesort                         | +----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+-------+---------+-------+------+-----------------------------------------------------+
4、混合排序

MySQL 不能利用索引进行混合排序。但在某些场景,还是有机会使用特殊方法提升性能的。

SELECT *  FROM   my_order o         INNERJOIN my_appraise a ON a.orderid = o.id  ORDERBY a.is_reply ASC,            a.appraise_time DESC LIMIT0, 20

执行计划显示为全表扫描:

+----+-------------+-------+--------+-------------+---------+---------+---------------+---------+-+ | id | select_type | table | type   | possible_keys     | key     | key_len | ref      | rows    | Extra     +----+-------------+-------+--------+-------------+---------+---------+---------------+---------+-+ |  1 | SIMPLE      | a     | ALL    | idx_orderid | NULL    | NULL    | NULL    | 1967647 | Using filesort | |  1 | SIMPLE      | o     | eq_ref | PRIMARY     | PRIMARY | 122     | a.orderid |       1 | NULL           | +----+-------------+-------+--------+---------+---------+---------+-----------------+---------+-+

由于 is_reply 只有0和1两种状态,我们按照下面的方法重写后,执行时间从1.58秒降低到2毫秒。

SELECT *  FROM   ((SELECT *          FROM   my_order o                  INNERJOIN my_appraise a                          ON a.orderid = o.id                             AND is_reply = 0          ORDERBY appraise_time DESC          LIMIT0, 20)          UNIONALL         (SELECT *          FROM   my_order o                  INNERJOIN my_appraise a                          ON a.orderid = o.id                             AND is_reply = 1          ORDERBY appraise_time DESC          LIMIT0, 20)) t  ORDERBY  is_reply ASC,            appraisetime DESC LIMIT20;
5、EXISTS语句

MySQL 对待 EXISTS 子句时,仍然采用嵌套子查询的执行方式。如下面的 SQL 语句:

SELECT * FROM   my_neighbor n         LEFTJOIN my_neighbor_apply sra                ON n.id = sra.neighbor_id                   AND sra.user_id = 'xxx' WHERE  n.topic_status < 4        ANDEXISTS(SELECT1                   FROM   message_info m                    WHERE  n.id = m.neighbor_id                           AND m.inuser = 'xxx')         AND n.topic_type <> 5

执行计划为:

+----+--------------------+-------+------+-----+------------------------------------------+---------+-------+---------+ -----+ | id | select_type        | table | type | possible_keys     | key   | key_len | ref   | rows    | Extra   | +----+--------------------+-------+------+ -----+------------------------------------------+---------+-------+---------+ -----+ |  1 | PRIMARY            | n     | ALL  |  | NULL     | NULL    | NULL  | 1086041 | Using where                   | |  1 | PRIMARY            | sra   | ref  |  | idx_user_id | 123     | const |       1 | Using where          | |  2 | DEPENDENT SUBQUERY | m     | ref  |  | idx_message_info   | 122     | const |       1 | Using index condition; Using where | +----+--------------------+-------+------+ -----+------------------------------------------+---------+-------+---------+ -----+

去掉 exists 更改为 join,能够避免嵌套子查询,将执行时间从1.93秒降低为1毫秒。

SELECT * FROM   my_neighbor n         INNERJOIN message_info m                 ON n.id = m.neighbor_id                    AND m.inuser = 'xxx'        LEFTJOIN my_neighbor_apply sra                ON n.id = sra.neighbor_id                   AND sra.user_id = 'xxx' WHERE  n.topic_status < 4        AND n.topic_type <> 5

新的执行计划:

+----+-------------+-------+--------+ -----+------------------------------------------+---------+ -----+------+ -----+ | id | select_type | table | type   | possible_keys     | key       | key_len | ref   | rows | Extra                 | +----+-------------+-------+--------+ -----+------------------------------------------+---------+ -----+------+ -----+ |  1 | SIMPLE      | m     | ref    | | idx_message_info   | 122     | const    |    1 | Using index condition | |  1 | SIMPLE      | n     | eq_ref | | PRIMARY   | 122     | ighbor_id |    1 | Using where      | |  1 | SIMPLE      | sra   | ref    | | idx_user_id | 123     | const     |    1 | Using where           | +----+-------------+-------+--------+ -----+------------------------------------------+---------+ -----+------+ -----+
6、条件下推

外部查询条件不能够下推到复杂的视图或子查询的情况有:

  • 聚合子查询;

  • 含有 LIMIT 的子查询;

  • UNION 或 UNION ALL 子查询;

  • 输出字段中的子查询;

如下面的语句,从执行计划可以看出其条件作用于聚合子查询之后:

SELECT *  FROM   (SELECT target,                 Count(*)          FROM   operation          GROUPBY target) t  WHERE  target = 'rm-xxxx' +----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+-------------+---------+-------+------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table      | type  | possible_keys | key         | key_len | ref   | rows | Extra       | +----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+-------------+---------+-------+------+-------------+ |  1 | PRIMARY     | 
     
  | ref   |     |   | 514     | const |    2 | Using  where | |  2 | DERIVED     | operation  | index | idx_4         | idx_4       | 519     | NULL  |   20 | Using index | +----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+-------------+---------+-------+------+-------------+

确定从语义上查询条件可以直接下推后,重写如下:

SELECT target,         Count(*)  FROM   operation  WHERE  target = 'rm-xxxx' GROUPBY target

执行计划变为:

+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-------+---------+-------+------+--------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-------+---------+-------+------+--------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | operation | ref | idx_4 | idx_4 | 514 | const | 1 | Using where; Using index | +----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-------+---------+-------+------+--------------------+
7、提前缩小范围

先上初始 SQL 语句:

SELECT *  FROM   my_order o         LEFTJOIN my_userinfo u                ON o.uid = u.uid        LEFTJOIN my_productinfo p                ON o.pid = p.pid  WHERE  ( o.display = 0 )         AND ( o.ostaus = 1 )  ORDERBY o.selltime DESC LIMIT0, 15

该SQL语句原意是:先做一系列的左连接,然后排序取前15条记录。从执行计划也可以看出,最后一步估算排序记录数为90万,时间消耗为12秒。

+----+-------------+-------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+-----------------+--------+----------------------------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type   | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref             | rows   | Extra                                              | +----+-------------+-------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+-----------------+--------+----------------------------------------------------+ |  1 | SIMPLE      | o     | ALL    | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL            | 909119 | Using where; Using temporary; Using filesort       | |  1 | SIMPLE      | u     | eq_ref | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | o.uid |      1 | NULL                                               | |  1 | SIMPLE      | p     | ALL    | PRIMARY       | NULL    | NULL    | NULL            |      6 | Using where; Using join buffer (Block Nested Loop) | +----+-------------+-------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+-----------------+--------+----------------------------------------------------+

由于最后 WHERE 条件以及排序均针对最左主表,因此可以先对 my_order 排序提前缩小数据量再做左连接。SQL 重写后如下,执行时间缩小为1毫秒左右。

SELECT *  FROM ( SELECT *  FROM   my_order o  WHERE  ( o.display = 0 )         AND ( o.ostaus = 1 )  ORDERBY o.selltime DESC LIMIT0, 15 ) o       LEFTJOIN my_userinfo u                ON o.uid = u.uid       LEFTJOIN my_productinfo p                ON o.pid = p.pid  ORDERBY  o.selltime DESC limit0, 15

再检查执行计划:子查询物化后(select_type=DERIVED)参与 JOIN。虽然估算行扫描仍然为90万,但是利用了索引以及 LIMIT 子句后,实际执行时间变得很小。

+----+-------------+------------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+--------+----------------------------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table      | type   | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref   | rows   | Extra                                              | +----+-------------+------------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+--------+----------------------------------------------------+ |  1 | PRIMARY     | 
     
  | ALL    | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL  |     15 | Using temporary; Using filesort                    | |  1 | PRIMARY     | u          | eq_ref | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | o.uid |      1 | NULL                                               | |  1 | PRIMARY     | p          | ALL    | PRIMARY       | NULL    | NULL    | NULL  |      6 | Using  where; Using join buffer (Block Nested Loop) | |  2 | DERIVED     | o          | index  | NULL          | idx_1   | 5       | NULL  | 909112 | Using  where                                        | +----+-------------+------------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+--------+----------------------------------------------------+
8、中间结果集下推

再来看下面这个已经初步优化过的例子(左连接中的主表优先作用查询条件):

SELECT    a.*,            c.allocated  FROM      (                SELECT   resourceid                FROM     my_distribute d                     WHERE    isdelete = 0                    AND      cusmanagercode = '1234567'                    ORDERBY salecode limit20) a  LEFTJOIN           (                SELECT   resourcesid, sum(ifnull(allocation, 0) * 12345) allocated                FROM     my_resources                     GROUPBY resourcesid) c  ON        a.resourceid = c.resourcesid

那么该语句还存在其它问题吗?不难看出子查询 c 是全表聚合查询,在表数量特别大的情况下会导致整个语句的性能下降。

其实对于子查询 c,左连接最后结果集只关心能和主表 resourceid 能匹配的数据。因此我们可以重写语句如下,执行时间从原来的2秒下降到2毫秒。

SELECT    a.*,            c.allocated  FROM      (                     SELECT   resourceid                     FROM     my_distribute d                     WHERE    isdelete = 0                    AND      cusmanagercode = '1234567'                    ORDERBY salecode limit20) a  LEFTJOIN           (                     SELECT   resourcesid, sum(ifnull(allocation, 0) * 12345) allocated                     FROM     my_resources r,                              (                                       SELECT   resourceid                                       FROM     my_distribute d                                       WHERE    isdelete = 0                                      AND      cusmanagercode = '1234567'                                      ORDERBY salecode limit20) a                     WHERE    r.resourcesid = a.resourcesid                     GROUPBY resourcesid) c  ON        a.resourceid = c.resourcesid

但是子查询 a 在我们的SQL语句中出现了多次。这种写法不仅存在额外的开销,还使得整个语句显的繁杂。使用 WITH 语句再次重写:

WITH a AS (           SELECT   resourceid           FROM     my_distribute d           WHERE    isdelete = 0          AND      cusmanagercode = '1234567'          ORDERBY salecode limit20) SELECT    a.*,            c.allocated  FROM      a  LEFTJOIN           (                     SELECT   resourcesid, sum(ifnull(allocation, 0) * 12345) allocated                     FROM     my_resources r,                              a                     WHERE    r.resourcesid = a.resourcesid                     GROUPBY resourcesid) c  ON        a.resourceid = c.resourcesid
总结

数据库编译器产生执行计划,决定着SQL的实际执行方式。但是编译器只是尽力服务,所有数据库的编译器都不是尽善尽美的。

上述提到的多数场景,在其它数据库中也存在性能问题。了解数据库编译器的特性,才能避规其短处,写出高性能的SQL语句。

程序员在设计数据模型以及编写SQL语句时,要把算法的思想或意识带进来。

编写复杂SQL语句要养成使用 WITH 语句的习惯。简洁且思路清晰的SQL语句也能减小数据库的负担 。
