介绍4种常见SQL错误用法

 

1、关联更新、删除

虽然 MySQL5.6 引入了物化特性，但需要特别注意它目前仅仅针对查询语句的优化。对于更新或删除需要手工重写成 JOIN。

比如下面 UPDATE 语句，MySQL 实际执行的是循环/嵌套子查询（DEPENDENT SUBQUERY)，其执行时间可想而知。

UPDATE operation o
SET    status = 'applying' 
WHERE  o.id IN (SELECT id 
                FROM   (SELECT o.id, 
                               o.status 
                        FROM   operation o 
                        WHERE  o.group = 123 
                               AND o.status NOT IN ( 'done' ) 
                        ORDER  BY o.parent, 
                                  o.id 
                        LIMIT  1) t);

重写为 JOIN 之后，子查询的选择模式从 DEPENDENT SUBQUERY 变成 DERIVED，执行速度大大加快，从7秒降低到2毫秒。

​​​​​

UPDATE operation o 
       JOIN  (SELECT o.id, 
                            o.status 
                     FROM   operation o 
                     WHERE  o.group = 123 
                            AND o.status NOT IN ( 'done' ) 
                     ORDER  BY o.parent, 
                               o.id 
                     LIMIT  1) t
         ON o.id = t.id 
SET    status = 'applying' 

2、混合排序

MySQL 不能利用索引进行混合排序。但在某些场景，还是有机会使用特殊方法提升性能的。

SELECT * 
FROM   my_order o 
       INNER JOIN my_appraise a ON a.orderid = o.id 
ORDER  BY a.is_reply ASC, 
          a.appraise_time DESC 
LIMIT  0, 20

执行计划显示为全表扫描：​​​​​

由于 is_reply 只有0和1两种状态，我们按照下面的方法重写后，执行时间从1.58秒降低到2毫秒。

SELECT * 
FROM   ((SELECT *
         FROM   my_order o 
                INNER JOIN my_appraise a 
                        ON a.orderid = o.id 
                           AND is_reply = 0 
         ORDER  BY appraise_time DESC 
         LIMIT  0, 20) 
        UNION ALL 
        (SELECT *
         FROM   my_order o 
                INNER JOIN my_appraise a 
                        ON a.orderid = o.id 
                           AND is_reply = 1 
         ORDER  BY appraise_time DESC 
         LIMIT  0, 20)) t 
ORDER  BY  is_reply ASC, 
          appraisetime DESC 
LIMIT  20;

3、EXISTS语句

MySQL 对待 EXISTS 子句时，仍然采用嵌套子查询的执行方式。如下面的 SQL 语句：

SELECT *
FROM   my_neighbor n 
       LEFT JOIN my_neighbor_apply sra 
              ON n.id = sra.neighbor_id 
                 AND sra.user_id = 'xxx' 
WHERE  n.topic_status < 4 
       AND EXISTS(SELECT 1 
                  FROM   message_info m 
                  WHERE  n.id = m.neighbor_id 
                         AND m.inuser = 'xxx') 
       AND n.topic_type <> 5 

执行计划为：

去掉 exists 更改为 join，能够避免嵌套子查询，将执行时间从1.93秒降低为1毫秒。

SELECT *
FROM   my_neighbor n 
       INNER JOIN message_info m 
               ON n.id = m.neighbor_id 
                  AND m.inuser = 'xxx' 
       LEFT JOIN my_neighbor_apply sra 
              ON n.id = sra.neighbor_id 
                 AND sra.user_id = 'xxx' 
WHERE  n.topic_status < 4 
       AND n.topic_type <> 5 

4、提前缩小范围

先上初始 SQL 语句：

SELECT * 
FROM   my_order o 
       LEFT JOIN my_userinfo u 
              ON o.uid = u.uid
       LEFT JOIN my_productinfo p 
              ON o.pid = p.pid 
WHERE  ( o.display = 0 ) 
       AND ( o.ostaus = 1 ) 
ORDER  BY o.selltime DESC 
LIMIT  0, 15 

该SQL语句原意是：先做一系列的左连接，然后排序取前15条记录。从执行计划也可以看出，最后一步估算排序记录数为90万，时间消耗为12秒。

由于最后 WHERE 条件以及排序均针对最左主表，因此可以先对 my_order 排序提前缩小数据量再做左连接。SQL 重写后如下，执行时间缩小为1毫秒左右。​​​​​​​

SELECT * 
FROM (
SELECT * 
FROM   my_order o 
WHERE  ( o.display = 0 ) 
       AND ( o.ostaus = 1 ) 
ORDER  BY o.selltime DESC 
LIMIT  0, 15
) o 
     LEFT JOIN my_userinfo u 
              ON o.uid = u.uid 
     LEFT JOIN my_productinfo p 
              ON o.pid = p.pid 
ORDER BY  o.selltime DESC
limit 0, 15

再检查执行计划：子查询物化后（select_type=DERIVED)参与 JOIN。虽然估算行扫描仍然为90万，但是利用了索引以及 LIMIT 子句后，实际执行时间变得很小。​​​​​​​
