【原创】MySQL5.7虚拟列实现表达式索引
MySQL自古以来就不提供函数索引这么复杂的功能。那怎么在MySQL里面实现这样的功能呢? 我们先来看看函数索引的概念。函数索引,也可称为表达式索引,也就是基于字段以特定函数(表达式)建立索引来提升查询性能之需。函数索引的优势在于更加精确的获取所需要
MySQL自古以来就不提供函数索引这么复杂的功能。那怎么在MySQL里面实现这样的功能呢? 我们先来看看函数索引的概念。函数索引,也可称为表达式索引,也就是基于字段以特定函数(表达式)建立索引来提升查询性能之需。函数索引的优势在于更加精确的获取所需要的数据。
MySQL 5.7提供了一个新的特性,虚拟列,可以很完美的解决这个问题。
在介绍虚拟列之前,我们来看看在MySQL里面普通索引的范例。
示例表结构:
CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT ,rank INT, log_time DATETIME, nickname VARCHAR(64)) ENGINE INNODB; ALTER TABLE t1 ADD PRIMARY KEY (id), ADD KEY idx_rank (rank),ADD KEY idx_log_time (log_time);
示例表数据量,这里我增加了5000条记录:
mysql> select count(*) from t1; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 5000 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
假设我们来检索2015年4月9号的数据。(结果是有两条记录,id 分别为95和3423。)
mysql> SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE DATE(log_time) = '2015-04-09'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 95 rank: 24 log_time: 2015-04-09 05:53:13 nickname: test *************************** 2. row *************************** id: 3423 rank: 42 log_time: 2015-04-09 02:55:38 nickname: test 2 rows in set (0.01 sec)
下来我们看看这条语句的查询计划。
mysql> explain SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE DATE(log_time) = '2015-04-09'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 1 select_type: SIMPLE table: t1 partitions: NULL type: ALL possible_keys: NULL key: NULL key_len: NULL ref: NULL rows: 5000 filtered: 100.00 Extra: Using where 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
我们发现TYPE是ALL,扫描的函数是5000,也就是说这条语句进行了一个全表扫描。 虽然给字段log_time 加了索引,但是没有用到,那这个时候怎么办?
在MySQL里面一般这样修改:
mysql> SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE log_time >= '2015-04-09 00:00:00' AND log_time <='2015-04-10 00:00:00'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 3423 rank: 42 log_time: 2015-04-09 02:55:38 nickname: test *************************** 2. row *************************** id: 95 rank: 24 log_time: 2015-04-09 05:53:13 nickname: test 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
通过查询结果,发现结果集一致,那再来看看查询计划
mysql> explain SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE log_time >= '2015-04-09 00:00:00' AND log_time <= '2015-04-10 00:00:00'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 1 select_type: SIMPLE table: t1 partitions: NULL type: range possible_keys: idx_log_time key: idx_log_time key_len: 6 ref: NULL rows: 2 filtered: 100.00 Extra: Using index condition 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
可以看到这条修改过的语句很好的利用到了idx_log_time这条索引。
那好,这个是之前在MySQL 5.6以及之前的旧版本解决方法,随着MySQL 5.7的发布,虚拟列的出现让这个问题更加简单。
现在修改下之前的表结构:
ALTER TABLE t1 ADD COLUMN log_date DATE AS (DATE(log_Time)) stored, ADD KEY idx_log_date (log_date);
这样,增加了一新列,用来存放date(log_time)这个表达式,并且给他加了一列索引。
那么,之前的语句就变成如下:
mysql> SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE log_date = '2015-04-09'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 95 rank: 24 log_time: 2015-04-09 05:53:13 nickname: test log_date: 2015-04-09 *************************** 2. row *************************** id: 3423 rank: 42 log_time: 2015-04-09 02:55:38 nickname: test log_date: 2015-04-09 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
执行后结果集和之前的一致。
我们来看看查询计划,发现很好的利用了idx_log_date索引列。
mysql> explain SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE log_date = '2015-04-09'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** id: 1 select_type: SIMPLE table: t1 partitions: NULL type: ref possible_keys: idx_log_date key: idx_log_date key_len: 4 ref: const rows: 2 filtered: 100.00 Extra: NULL 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
通过以上介绍,我们看到虚拟列实现起来相对之前的方法来的容易的多。但是这里笔者还是得说上几句。
函数索引的用法以及SQL语句虽然写起来简单,但是在大部分场合下,只能说不得已而为之,是一种设计上的缺陷,后期增加了运维人员的运维难度以及繁琐度。这也就是为什么MySQL 直到5.7才推出了这项类似的功能的原因。

MySQL is an open source relational database management system, mainly used to store and retrieve data quickly and reliably. Its working principle includes client requests, query resolution, execution of queries and return results. Examples of usage include creating tables, inserting and querying data, and advanced features such as JOIN operations. Common errors involve SQL syntax, data types, and permissions, and optimization suggestions include the use of indexes, optimized queries, and partitioning of tables.

MySQL is chosen for its performance, reliability, ease of use, and community support. 1.MySQL provides efficient data storage and retrieval functions, supporting multiple data types and advanced query operations. 2. Adopt client-server architecture and multiple storage engines to support transaction and query optimization. 3. Easy to use, supports a variety of operating systems and programming languages. 4. Have strong community support and provide rich resources and solutions.

MySQL's position in databases and programming is very important. It is an open source relational database management system that is widely used in various application scenarios. 1) MySQL provides efficient data storage, organization and retrieval functions, supporting Web, mobile and enterprise-level systems. 2) It uses a client-server architecture, supports multiple storage engines and index optimization. 3) Basic usages include creating tables and inserting data, and advanced usages involve multi-table JOINs and complex queries. 4) Frequently asked questions such as SQL syntax errors and performance issues can be debugged through the EXPLAIN command and slow query log. 5) Performance optimization methods include rational use of indexes, optimized query and use of caches. Best practices include using transactions and PreparedStatemen

Apache connects to a database requires the following steps: Install the database driver. Configure the web.xml file to create a connection pool. Create a JDBC data source and specify the connection settings. Use the JDBC API to access the database from Java code, including getting connections, creating statements, binding parameters, executing queries or updates, and processing results.

The process of starting MySQL in Docker consists of the following steps: Pull the MySQL image to create and start the container, set the root user password, and map the port verification connection Create the database and the user grants all permissions to the database

The main role of MySQL in web applications is to store and manage data. 1.MySQL efficiently processes user information, product catalogs, transaction records and other data. 2. Through SQL query, developers can extract information from the database to generate dynamic content. 3.MySQL works based on the client-server model to ensure acceptable query speed.

The key to installing MySQL elegantly is to add the official MySQL repository. The specific steps are as follows: Download the MySQL official GPG key to prevent phishing attacks. Add MySQL repository file: rpm -Uvh https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql80-community-release-el7-3.noarch.rpm Update yum repository cache: yum update installation MySQL: yum install mysql-server startup MySQL service: systemctl start mysqld set up booting
