输出列
(root@localhost) [sakila]> explain select sum(amount) from customer a,
 -> payment b where 1=1 and a.customer_id=b.customer_id and
 -> email='JANE.BENNETT@sakilacustomer.org'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
 id: 1
 select_type: SIMPLE
 table: a
 type: ALL
possible_keys: PRIMARY
 key: NULL
 key_len: NULL
 ref: NULL
 rows: 590
 Extra: Using where
*************************** 2. row ***************************

 select_type: SIMPLE
 table: b
 type: ref
possible_keys: idx_fk_customer_id

1、各列表示的意义
Column Meaning
------ ------------------------------------
id The SELECT identifier 
select_type The SELECT type
table The table for the output row
partitions The matching partitions
type The join type
possible_keys The possible indexes to choose
key index actually chosen
key_len The length of the chosen key
ref The columns compared to the index
rows Estimate of rows to be examined
filtered Percentage of rows filtered by table condition
Extra Additional information
2、各列上的具体描述
id:
 包含一组数字,表示查询中执行select子句或操作表的顺序
 id相同,执行顺序由上至下,否则id值越大(通常子查询会产生)优先级越高,越先被执行
 id如果相同,可以认为是一组,从上往下顺序执行;在所有组中,id值越大,优先级越高,越先执行
select_type: 
 表示查询中每个select子句的类型(简单 OR复杂)
 select_type Value Meaning
 ------------- -----------------------------------------------
 SIMPLE Simple SELECT (not using UNION or subqueries)
 PRIMARY Outermost SELECT 最外层select
 UNION Second or later SELECT statement in a UNION
 DEPENDENT UNION Second or later SELECT statement in a UNION, dependent on outer query
 UNION RESULT Result of a UNION.
 SUBQUERY First SELECT in subquery
 DEPENDENT SUBQUERY First SELECT in subquery, dependent on outer query(通常为相关子查询)
 DERIVED Derived table SELECT (subquery in FROM clause)
 MATERIALIZED Materialized subquery
 UNCACHEABLE SUBQUERY A subquery for which the result cannot be cached and must be reevaluated
 for each row of the outer query
 UNCACHEABLE UNION The second or later select in a UNION that belongs to an uncacheable
 subquery (see UNCACHEABLE SUBQUERY) 
table: 
 从哪个表(表名)上
输出行记录,也可能是下列值: 
 ? : The row refers to the union of the rows with id values of M and N.
 ? : The row refers to the derived table result for the row with an id value of N. 
 A derived table may result, for example, from a subquery in the FROM clause.
 ? : The row refers to the result of a materialized subquery for the row with an id value of N. 
partitions: 
 查询匹配的记录来自哪一个分区,当使用EXPLAIN,分区PARTITIONS关键字被指定时
type:
 连接类型
 system 表只有一行
 const 表最多只有一行匹配,通用用于主键或者唯一索引比较时
 eq_ref 每次与之前的表合并行都只在该表读取一行,这是除了system,const之外最好的一种,
 特点是使用=,而且索引的所有部分都参与join且索引是主键或非空唯一键的索引
 ref 如果每次只匹配少数行,那就是比较好的一种,使用=或<=>,可以是左覆盖索引或非主键或非唯一键
 fulltext 全文搜索
 ref_or_null 与ref类似,但包括NULL
 index_merge 表示出现了索引合并优化(包括交集,并集以及交集之间的并集),但不包括跨表和全文索引。
 这个比较复杂,目前的理解是合并单表的范围索引扫描(如果成本估算比普通的range要更优的话)
 unique_subquery 在in子查询中,就是value in (select...)把形如“select unique_key_column”的子查询替换。
 PS:所以不一定in子句中使用子查询就是低效的!
 index_subquery 同上,但把形如”select non_unique_key_column“的子查询替换
 range 常数值的范围
 index a.当查询是索引覆盖的,即所有数据均可从索引树获取的时候(Extra中有Using Index);
 b.以索引顺序从索引中查找数据行的全表扫描(无 Using Index);
 c.如果Extra中Using Index与Using Where同时出现的话,则是利用索引查找键值的意思;
 d.如单独出现,则是用读索引来代替读行,但不用于查找
 all 全表扫描
possible_keys:
 指出MySQL能使用哪个索引在表中找到行。
 查询涉及到的字段上若存在索引则该索引将被列出,但不一定被查询使用。
 如果改列为NULL,说明该查询不会使用到当前表上的相关索引,考虑是否有必要添加索引
key
 显示MySQL在查询中实际使用的索引,若没有使用索引,显示为NULL
 也可能存在key不等于possible_keys的情形,即possible_keys不适合提取所需的行
 而查询所选择的列在使用其他索引时更高效
 TIPS:查询中若使用了覆盖索引,则该索引仅出现在key列表中
key_len
 表示索引中使用的字节数,可通过该列计算查询中使用的索引的长度
ref
 表示上述表的连接匹配条件,即哪些列或常量被用于查找索引列上的值
rows
 表示MySQL根据表统计信息及索引选用情况,估算的找到所需的记录所需要读取的行数
 对于InnoDB,该值为预估,不一定精确
Extra
 包含不适合在其他列中显示但十分重要的额外信息
三、使用EXPLAIN EXTENDED 示例
(root@localhost) [sakila]> explain extended select * from city where country_id in
 -> ( select country_id from country where country='China') and 1=1 \G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
 id: 1
 select_type: SIMPLE
 table: country
 type: ALL
possible_keys: PRIMARY
 key: NULL
 key_len: NULL
 ref: NULL
 rows: 109
 filtered: 100.00
 Extra: Using where
*************************** 2. row ***************************
 id: 1
 select_type: SIMPLE
 table: city
 type: ref
possible_keys: idx_fk_country_id
 key: idx_fk_country_id
 key_len: 2
 ref: sakila.country.country_id
 rows: 1
 filtered: 100.00
 Extra: NULL
2 rows in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
(root@localhost) [sakila]> show warnings\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
 Level: Note
 Code: 1003
Message: /* select#1 */ select `city`.`city_id` AS `city_id`,`city`.`city` AS `city`,`city`.`country_id` 
AS `country_id`,`city`.`last_update` AS `last_update` from `sakila`.`country` join `sakila`.`city` where
 ((`city`.`country_id` = `country`.`country_id`) and (`country`.`country` = 'China'))
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
-- 从上面的extended使用可以看出,查询中多出了filtered列
-- 其次原来的SQL语句真正在执行的时候被改写,即原来的1=1的条件被去掉
-- 对于复杂的SQL语句我们可以通过该方式获得一个比较清晰的真正被执行的SQL语句
四、EXPLAIN PARTITIONS示例
(root@localhost) [sakila]> CREATE TABLE `actor_part` (
 -> `actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 -> `first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
 -> `last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
 -> `last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
 -> PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),
 -> KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)
 -> ) partition by hash(actor_id) partitions 4;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)
(root@localhost) [sakila]> insert into actor_part select * from actor;
Query OK, 200 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Records: 200 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
(root@localhost) [sakila]> explain select * from actor_part where actor_id=10; -- 未使用partitions时
+----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | actor_part | const | PRIMARY | PRIMARY | 2 | const | 1 | NULL |
+----+-------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
(root@localhost) [sakila]> explain partitions select * from actor_part where actor_id=10; -- 使用partitions时
+----+-------------+------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | actor_part | p2 | const | PRIMARY | PRIMARY | 2 | const | 1 | NULL |
+----+-------------+------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
-- 多出了partitions列
