前言
当用Explain查看SQL的执行计划时,里面有列显示了 key_len 的值,根据这个值可以判断索引的长度,在组合索引里面可以更清楚的了解到了哪部分字段使用到了索引。下面演示中,表结构的合理性这边暂且不说,只是证明一下索引长度的计算方法。目前大部分博文是字符类型的索引长度计算方法,下面列举几个类型的索引长度计算方法:
1、整数类型
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> desc table_key;
+---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id | int(11) | NO | | NULL | |
| sid | bigint(20) | NO | | 0 | |
| name | char(10) | YES | | NULL | |
| age | tinyint(4) | YES | | NULL | |
| sex | tinyint(4) | NO | | NULL | |
| address | varchar(10) | YES | MUL | NULL | |
+---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
rows in set (0.01 sec)
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]>create index age_index on table_key (age);
来看看tinyint类型的索引长度,在NOT NULL 和 NULL 的时候 分别是1和2,tinyint字段长度为1,因为NULL 需要额外一个字节标记为空
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> explain extended select * from table_key where age=38;
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | table_key | ref | age_index | age_index | 1 | const | 1 | 100.00 | NULL |
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> alter table table_key modify age tinyint(4);
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> explain extended select * from table_key where age=38;
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | table_key | ref | age_index | age_index | 2 | const | 1 | 100.00 | NULL |
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]>
看看bigint类型的索引长度,同样是 NOT NULL 和 NULL值的时候,分别是8和9,聪明的你应该知道了,bigint长度为8。
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> alter table table_key add key sid_index (sid);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> desc select * from table_key where sid=6;
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+-------+

row in set (0.00 sec)
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]>
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> alter table table_key modify sid bigint(20);

| 1 | SIMPLE | table_key | ref | sid_index | sid_index | 9 | const | 1 | NULL |
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+-------+
row in set (0.00 sec)
看看smallint类型索引长度,同样是 NOT NULL 和 NULL值的时候,分别是2和3 smallint长度为2,允许为空需要一个字节标记
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> alter table table_key modify sid smallint not null default 0;
Query OK, 9 rows affected (0.04 sec)
Records: 9 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> desc select * from table_key where sid=6;
+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+-------+

+----+-------------+-----------+------+---------------+-----------+---------+-------+------+-------+
row in set (0.00 sec)
看看mediumint类型索引长度,同样是 NOT NULL 和 NULL值的时候,分别是3和4
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> alter table table_key modify sid mediumint NOT NULL;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)

整数类型索引长度跟字段长度有关,如果允许为空,需要额外一个字节去标记为空
2.浮点数类型
表结构

+----+-------------+------------+------+---------------+----------+---------+-------+------+-----------------------+
row in set, 3 warnings (0.00 sec)
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]>
在timestamp类型的时候索引长度,在NOT NULL 和 NULL的时候,分别是4和5

小结:在MySQL5.6版本,是否还得使用timestamp类型应该是仁者见仁智者见智的问题了,datetime是五个字节,timestamp范围比较窄(1970-2037年),不排除后续版本会修改其范围值
4.字符类型
表结构,字符集是UTF8
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> desc table_key;

看看复合索引的长度,因为能全部使用到组合索引,所以是:2*(10)+2*(20)+2=42,下面将name字段允许为空,再来看看
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> alter table table_key modify name char(10);
(dg1)[email protected] [mytest]> explain extended select * from table_key where name=‘zhangsan‘ and address=‘shanghai‘;

这时候key_len=2*(10)+1+2*(10)+2+1=44
总结
1.整数类型,浮点数类型,时间类型的索引长度
NOT NULL=字段本身的字段长度
NULL=字段本身的字段长度+1,因为需要有是否为空的标记,这个标记需要占用1个字节
datetime类型在5.6中字段长度是5个字节
2.字符类型
varchr(n)变长字段且允许NULL = n * ( utf8=3,gbk=2,latin1=1)+1(NULL)+2
varchr(n)变长字段且不允许NULL = n * ( utf8=3,gbk=2,latin1=1)+2
char(n)固定字段且允许NULL = n * ( utf8=3,gbk=2,latin1=1)+1(NULL)
char(n)固定字段且允许NULL = n * ( utf8=3,gbk=2,latin1=1)
变长字段需要额外的2个字节(VARCHAR值保存时只保存需要的字符数,另加一个字节来记录长度(如果列声明的长度超过255,则使用两个字节),所以VARCAHR索引长度计算时候要加2),固定长度字段不需要额外的字节。而null都需要1个字节的额外空间,所以索引字段最好不要为NULL,因为NULL让统计更加复杂,并且需要额外的存储空间。这个结论在此得到了证实,复合索引有最左前缀的特性,如果复合索引能全部使用上,则是复合索引字段的索引长度之和,这也可以用来判定复合索引是否部分使用,还是全部使用。
