在MySQL中查詢多列索引表

Question

我有一個包含3列的單個索引的MySQL表：colA，ColB，ColC

如果我這樣查詢：

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE colA='some value' AND colB = 'some other value'

是使用索引還是只需要用colA和colB創建一個單獨的索引

Answer 1

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table;


CREATE TABLE my_table
(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
,dense INT NOT NULL
,sparse INT NOT NULL
, other INT NOT NULL
, INDEX(dense,sparse,other)
);

INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (1,1,1,1);

INSERT INTO my_table (dense,sparse,other) SELECT RAND()*10,RAND()*1000000,RAND()*1000 FROM my_table;

-- Repeat last command 10 times, or so...


EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE dense = 9 AND sparse = 1000;
+----+-------------+----------+------+---------------+-------+---------+-------------+------+-------+
| id | select_type | table    | type | possible_keys | key   | key_len | ref         | rows | Extra |

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE sparse = 1000;
