in 是把外表和内表作hash join,而exists是对外表作loop,每次loop再对内表进行查询。一般大家都认为exists比in语句的效率要高,这种说法其实是不准确的,这个是要区分环境的。
exists对外表用loop逐条查询,每次查询都会查看exists的条件语句,当 exists里的条件语句能够返回记录行时(无论记录行是的多少,只要能返回),条件就为真,返回当前loop到的这条记录,反之如果exists里的条件语句不能返回记录行,则当前loop到的这条记录被丢弃,exists的条件就像一个bool条件,当能返回结果集则为true,不能返回结果集则为 false。
例如:
select * from user where exists (select 1);
对user表的记录逐条取出,由于子条件中的select 1永远能返回记录行,那么user表的所有记录都将被加入结果集,所以与 select * from user;是一样的
又如下
select * from user where exists (select * from user where userId = 0);
可以知道对user表进行loop时,检查条件语句(select * from user where userId = 0),由于userId永远不为0,所以条件语句永远返回空集,条件永远为false,那么user表的所有记录都将被丢弃
not exists与exists相反,也就是当exists条件有结果集返回时,loop到的记录将被丢弃,否则将loop到的记录加入结果集
总的来说,如果A表有n条记录,那么exists查询就是将这n条记录逐条取出,然后判断n遍exists条件
in查询相当于多个or条件的叠加,这个比较好理解,比如下面的查询
select * from user where userId in (1, 2, 3);
等效于
select * from user where userId = 1 or userId = 2 or userId = 3;
not in与in相反,如下
select * from user where userId not in (1, 2, 3);
等效于
select * from user where userId != 1 and userId != 2 and userId != 3;
总的来说,in查询就是先将子查询条件的记录全都查出来,假设结果集为B,共有m条记录,然后在将子查询条件的结果集分解成m个,再进行m次查询
值得一提的是,in查询的子条件返回结果必须只有一个字段,例如
select * from user where userId in (select id from B);
而不能是
select * from user where userId in (select id, age from B);
而exists就没有这个限制
下面来考虑exists和in的性能:
对于以上两种情况,in是在内存里遍历比较,而exists需要查询数据库,所以当B表数据量较大时,exists效率优于in。
考虑如下SQL语句
select * from A where exists (select * from B where B.id = A.id);
select * from A where A.id in (select id from B);
1、select * from A where exists (select * from B where B.id = A.id);
exists()会执行A.length次,它并不缓存exists()结果集,因为exists()结果集的内容并不重要,重要的是其内查询语句的结果集空或者非空,空则返回false,非空则返回true。
它的查询过程类似于以下过程:
for ($i = 0; $i < count(A); $i++) {
$a = get_record(A, $i); #从A表逐条获取记录
if (B.id = $a[id]) #如果子条件成立
$result[] = $a;
}
return $result;
当B表比A表数据大时适合使用exists(),因为它没有那么多遍历操作,只需要再执行一次查询就行。
如:A表有10000条记录,B表有1000000条记录,那么exists()会执行10000次去判断A表中的id是否与B表中的id相等。
如:A表有10000条记录,B表有100000000条记录,那么exists()还是执行10000次,因为它只执行A.length次,可见B表数据越多,越适合exists()发挥效果。
再如:A表有10000条记录,B表有100条记录,那么exists()还是执行10000次,还不如使用in()遍历10000*100次,因为in()是在内存里遍历比较,而exists()需要查询数据库,我们都知道查询数据库所消耗的性能更高,而内存比较很快。
结论:exists()适合B表比A表数据大的情况
2、select * from A where id in (select id from B);
in()只执行一次,它查出B表中的所有id字段并缓存起来。之后,检查A表的id是否与B表中的id相等,如果相等则将A表的记录加入结果集中,直到遍历完A表的所有记录。
它的查询过程类似于以下过程:
Array A=(select * from A);
Array B=(select id from B);
for(int i=0;i
for(int j=0;j
if(A[i].id==B[j].id) {
resultSet.add(A[i]);
break;
}
}
}
return resultSet;
可以看出,当B表数据较大时不适合使用in(),因为它会B表数据全部遍历一次
如:A表有10000条记录,B表有1000000条记录,那么最多有可能遍历10000*1000000次,效率很差。
再如:A表有10000条记录,B表有100条记录,那么最多有可能遍历10000*100次,遍历次数大大减少,效率大大提升。
结论:in()适合B表比A表数据小的情况
当A表数据与B表数据一样大时,in与exists效率差不多,可任选一个使用。
在插入记录前,需要检查这条记录是否已经存在,只有当记录不存在时才执行插入操作,可以通过使用 EXISTS 条件句防止插入重复记录。
insert into A (name,age) select name,age from B where not exists (select 1 from A where A.id=B.id);
EXISTS与IN的使用效率的问题,通常情况下采用exists要比in效率高,因为IN不走索引。但要看实际情况具体使用:IN适合于外表大而内表小的情况;EXISTS适合于外表小而内表大的情况。
下面再看not exists 和 not in
1、select * from A where not exists (select * from B where B.id = A.id);
2、select * from A where A.id not in (select id from B);
看查询1,还是和上面一样,用了B的索引;而对于查询2,可以转化成如下语句
select * from A where A.id != 1 and A.id != 2 and A.id != 3;
可以知道not in是个范围查询,这种!=的范围查询无法使用任何索引,等于说A表的每条记录,都要在B表里遍历一次,查看B表里是否存在这条记录
not in 和not exists:如果查询语句使用了not in 那么内外表都进行全表扫描,没有用到索引;而not extsts 的子查询依然能用到表上的索引。所以无论那个表大,用not exists都比not in要快,故not exists比not in效率高。
in 与 =的区别
select name from student where name in ('zhang','wang','li','zhao');
与
select name from student where name='zhang' or name='li' or name='wang' or name='zhao'
的结果是相同的。
在我们一般的观点中,总是认为使用EXISTS(或NOT EXISTS)通常将提高查询的效率,所以一般推荐使用exists来代替in。但实际情况是不是这个样子呢?我们分别在两种不同的优化器模式下用实际的例子来看一下:

通过上面执行计划对比发现:

我们再来看一下RBO模式下的情况,这种情况相对复杂一些。

通过上面两个执行计划的对比发现:
在这里,我们可以看到实际上,使用in效率比exists效率更高。我们可以这样来理解这种情况:
对于in,RBO优化器选择的内存查询的结果作为驱动表来进行nest loops连接,所以当内存查询的结果集比较小的时候,这个in的效率还是比较高的。
对于exists,RBO优化器则是利用外查询表的全表扫描结果集过滤内查询的结果集,当外查询的表比较大的时候,相对效率比较低。
