MySQL的COUNT()函数利用索引进行计算

以前写过一篇《 select count(*) 和 select count(1)有什么区别？  》，参见： http://blog.163.com/li_hx/blog/static/18399141320146961258398/

现执行如下SQL并进一步分析如下：
----------------------------------------------

mysql> CREATE TABLE t_count (id INT PRIMARY KEY, uk INT, k1 INT, k2_1 INT, k2_2 INT, col INT, UNIQUE KEY (uk), KEY k1(k1), KEY k2 (k2_1, k2_2
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.28 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO t_count values (1,1,1,1,1,1),(2,2,2,2,2,2),(3,3,3,3,3,3),(4,4,4,4,4,4),(5,5,5,5,5,5),(6,6,6,6,6,6),(7,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,
Query OK, 7 rows affected (0.03 sec)
Records: 7  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> SELECT COUNT(*),COUNT(1),COUNT(id),COUNT(uk),COUNT(k1),COUNT(k2_1),COUNT(k2_2),COUNT(col) FROM t_count;
+----------+----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+------------+
| COUNT(*) | COUNT(1) | COUNT(id) | COUNT(uk) | COUNT(k1) | COUNT(k2_1) | COUNT(k2_2) | COUNT(col) |
+----------+----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+------------+
|        7 |        7 |         7 |         6 |         6 |           6 |           6 |          6 |
+----------+----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-------------+-------------+------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
