浅谈MySQL中的子查询优化技巧

mysql/' target='_blank'>mysql的子查询的优化一直不是很友好，一直有受业界批评比较多,也是我在sql优化中遇到过最多的问题之一，你可以点击这里 ，这里来获得一些信息，MySQL在处理子查询的时候，会将子查询改写,通常情况下，我们希望由内到外，也就是先完成子查询的结果，然后在用子查询来驱动外查询的表，完成查询，但是恰恰相反，子查询不会先被执行；今天希望通过介绍一些实际的案例来加深对mysql子查询的理解：

案例：用户反馈数据库响应较慢，许多业务动更新被卡住；登录到数据库中观察，发现长时间执行的sql；

| 10437 | usr0321t9m9 | 10.242.232.50:51201 | oms | Execute | 1179 | Sending

Sql为：

select tradedto0_.* from a1 tradedto0_ where tradedto0_.tradestatus='1'and (tradedto0_.tradeoid in (select orderdto1_.tradeoid from a2 orderdto1_ whereorderdto1_.proname like '%??%' or orderdto1_.procode like '%??%')) and tradedto0_.undefine4='1'and tradedto0_.invoicetype='1' and tradedto0_.tradestep='0' and (tradedto0_.orderCompany like '0002%') order by tradedto0_.tradesign ASC, tradedto0_.makertime desc limit 15;

2.其他表的更新被阻塞：

update a1 set tradesign='DAB67634-795C-4EAC-B4A0-78F0D531D62F',markColor=' #CD5555', memotime='2012-09- 22', markPerson='??' where tradeoid in ('gy2012092204495100032') ；

为了尽快恢复应用，将其长时间执行的sql kill掉后，应用恢复正常;
3.分析执行计划:

db@3306 ：explain select tradedto0_.* from a1 tradedto0_ where tradedto0_.tradestatus='1' and (tradedto0_.tradeoid in (select orderdto1_.tradeoidfrom a2 orderdto1_ where orderdto1_.proname like '%??%' or orderdto1_.procode like '%??%')) and tradedto0_.undefine4='1' and tradedto0_.invoicetype='1' and tradedto0_.tradestep='0' and (tradedto0_.orderCompany like '0002%') order by tradedto0_.tradesign ASC, tradedto0_.makertime desc limit 15;+----+--------------------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+-----| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |+----+--------------------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+-----| 1 | PRIMARY | tradedto0_ | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 27454 | Using where; Using filesort || 2 | DEPENDENT SUBQUERY | orderdto1_ | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 40998 | Using where |+----+--------------------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-------+-----

从执行计划上，我们开始一步一步地进行优化：
首先，我们看看执行计划的第二行，也就是子查询的那部分，orderdto1_进行了全表的扫描，我们看看能不能添加适当的索引：
A.使用覆盖索引:

db@3306：alter table a2 add index ind_a2(proname,procode,tradeoid);ERROR 1071 (42000): Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

添加组合索引超过了最大key length限制：
B．查看该表的字段定义：

 db@3306 ：DESC a2 ;+---------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+| FIELD        | TYPE     | NULL | KEY | DEFAULT | Extra |+---------------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+| OID         | VARCHAR(50)  | NO  | PRI | NULL  |    || TRADEOID      | VARCHAR(50)  | YES |   | NULL  |    || PROCODE       | VARCHAR(50)  | YES |   | NULL  |    || PRONAME       | VARCHAR(1000) | YES |   | NULL  |    || SPCTNCODE      | VARCHAR(200) | YES |   | NULL  |    |

C．查看表字段的平均长度：

db@3306 ：SELECT MAX(LENGTH(PRONAME)),avg(LENGTH(PRONAME)) FROM a2;+----------------------+----------------------+| MAX(LENGTH(PRONAME)) | avg(LENGTH(PRONAME)) |+----------------------+----------------------+|  95       |    24.5588 |

D．缩小字段长度

ALTER TABLE MODIFY COLUMN PRONAME VARCHAR(156);

再进行执行计划分析：

db@3306 ：explain select tradedto0_.* from a1 tradedto0_ where tradedto0_.tradestatus='1' and (tradedto0_.tradeoid in (select orderdto1_.tradeoid from a2 orderdto1_ where orderdto1_.proname like '%??%' or orderdto1_.procode like '%??%')) and tradedto0_.undefine4='1' and tradedto0_.invoicetype='1' and tradedto0_.tradestep='0' and (tradedto0_.orderCompany like '0002%') order by tradedto0_.tradesign ASC, tradedto0_.makertime desc limit 15;+----+--------------------+------------+-------+-----------------+----------------------+---------+| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |+----+--------------------+------------+-------+-----------------+----------------------+---------+| 1 | PRIMARY | tradedto0_ | ref | ind_tradestatus | ind_tradestatus | 345 | const,const,const,const | 8962 | Using where; Using filesort || 2 | DEPENDENT SUBQUERY | orderdto1_ | index | NULL | ind_a2 | 777 | NULL | 41005 | Using where; Using index |+----+--------------------+------------+-------+-----------------+----------------------+---------+

发现性能还是上不去，关键在两个表扫描的行数并没有减小（8962*41005），上面添加的索引没有太大的效果，现在查看t表的执行结果：

db@3306 ：select orderdto1_.tradeoid from t orderdto1_ where orderdto1_.proname like '%??%' or orderdto1_.procode like '%??%';Empty set (0.05 sec)

结果集为空，所以需要将t表的结果集做作为驱动表；
4．通过上面测试验证，普通的mysql子查询写法性能上是很差的，为mysql的子查询天然的弱点，需要将sql进行改写为关联的写法：

select tradedto0_.* from a1 tradedto0_ ,(select orderdto1_.tradeoid from a2 orderdto1_ where orderdto1_.proname like '%??%' or orderdto1_.procode like '%??%')t2 where tradedto0_.tradestatus='1' and (tradedto0_.tradeoid=t2.tradeoid ) and tradedto0_.undefine4='1' and tradedto0_.invoicetype='1' and tradedto0_.tradestep='0' and (tradedto0_.orderCompany like '0002%') order by tradedto0_.tradesign ASC, tradedto0_.makertime desc limit 15;

5.查看执行计划：

db@3306 ：explain select tradedto0_.* from a1 tradedto0_ ,(select orderdto1_.tradeoid from a2 orderdto1_ where orderdto1_.proname like '%??%' or orderdto1_.procode like '%??%')t2 where tradedto0_.tradestatus='1' and (tradedto0_.tradeoid=t2.tradeoid ) and tradedto0_.undefine4='1' and tradedto0_.invoicetype='1' and tradedto0_.tradestep='0' and (tradedto0_.orderCompany like '0002%') order by tradedto0_.tradesign ASC, tradedto0_.makertime desc limit 15;+----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+----------------------+---------+------+| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |+----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+----------------------+---------+------+| 1 | PRIMARY | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | Impossible WHERE noticed after reading const tables || 2 | DERIVED | orderdto1_ | index | NULL | ind_a2 | 777 | NULL | 41005 | Using where; Using index |+----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+----------------------+---------+------+

6.执行时间：

db@3306 ：select tradedto0_.* from a1 tradedto0_ ,(select orderdto1_.tradeoid from a2 orderdto1_ where orderdto1_.proname like '%??%' or orderdto1_.procode like '%??%')t2 where tradedto0_.tradestatus='1' and (tradedto0_.tradeoid=t2.tradeoid ) and tradedto0_.undefine4='1' and tradedto0_.invoicetype='1' and tradedto0_.tradestep='0' and (tradedto0_.orderCompany like '0002%') order by tradedto0_.tradesign ASC, tradedto0_.makertime desc limit 15;Empty set (0.03 sec)

缩短到了毫秒；
