一、myisam存储引擎
1 . 测试的表结构信息
mysql> show create table tb2
Table: tb2
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `tb2` (
`a1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`b1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`c1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`d1` varchar(1000) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
- 测试加索引
(1)添加单列索引,能够添加成功(报出warning),但实际添加的是前缀索引。
mysql> alter table tb2 add index idx1 (d1);
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 2 warnings (0.00 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> show warnings;
+---------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message |
+---------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+
| Warning | 1071 | Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes |
| Warning | 1071 | Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes |
+---------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
表结构信息:
mysql> show create table tb2
Table: tb2
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `tb2` (
`a1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`b1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`c1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`d1` varchar(1000) DEFAULT NULL,
KEY `idx1` (`d1`(333))
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
(2)添加组合索引,会执行失败。
mysql> alter table tb2 add index idx1 (a1,b1);
ERROR 1071 (42000): Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes
- 分析
myisam存储引擎在创建索引的时候,索引键长度是有一个较为严格的长度限制的,所有索引键最大长度总和不能超过1000,而且不是实际数据长度的总和,而是索引键字段定义长度的总和。
主要字符集的计算方式:
latin1 = 1 byte = 1 character
uft8 = 3 byte = 1 character
gbk = 2 byte = 1 character
二、innodb存储引擎
- 表结构信息:
mysql> create table tb1 (a1 varchar(255), b1 varchar(255), c1 varchar(255), d1 varchar(1000));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
2. 添加组合索引,报出waring,实际在某个单列上添加的是前缀索引
mysql> alter table tb1 add index idx1(a1,b1,c1,d1);
*Query OK, 0 rows affected, 2 warnings (0.01 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0*
mysql> show warnings;
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message |
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Warning | 1071 | Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes |
| Warning | 1071 | Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes |
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
3. 添加单列索引,报出waring,实际添加的是前缀索引
mysql> alter table tb1 add index idx2(d1);
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 2 warnings (0.02 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
mysql> show warnings;
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Level | Code | Message |
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Warning | 1071 | Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes |
| Warning | 1071 | Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes |
+---------+------+---------------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> show create table tb1
Table: tb1
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `tb1` (
`a1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`b1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`c1` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
`d1` varchar(1000) DEFAULT NULL,
KEY `idx1` (`a1`,`b1`,`c1`,`d1`(255)),
KEY `idx2` (`d1`(255))
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
- 分析:
默认情况下,InnoDB 引擎单一字段索引的长度最大为 767 字节,同样的,前缀索引也有同样的限制。当使用 UTF-8 字符集,每一个字符使用 3 字节来存储,在 TEXT 或者 VARCHAR 类型的字段上建立一个超过 255 字符数的前缀索引时就会遇到问题。可以启用服务器选项 innodb_large_prefix
使得这个限制增加到 3072 字节,而且表的 row_format 需要使用 compressed 或者 dynamic。
三、使用前缀索引带来的风险:
INNODB的索引会限制单独Key的最大长度为767字节,超过这个长度必须建立小于等于767字节的前缀索引。
此外,BLOB和TEXT类型的列只能创建前缀索引。
前缀索引能提高索引建立速度和检索速度,但是下面情况是无法使用前缀索引的:
- 索引覆盖扫描
- 通过索引的排序(order by, group by)
还是在上面的测试表上:
mysql> explain select * from tb1 order by d1;
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | tb1 | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 5 | Using filesort |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> explain select * from tb1 group by d1;
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+---------------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+---------------------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | tb1 | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 5 | Using temporary; Using filesort |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+---------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
