MySQL表的数据量大小会影响索引的选择

现象

新建了一张员工表,插入了少量数据,索引中所有的字段均在where条件出现时,正确走到了idx_nap索引,但是where出现部分自左开始的索引时,却进行全表扫描,与MySQL官方所说的最左匹配原则“相悖”。

数据背景

CREATE TABLE `staffs` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(24) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT '姓名',
  `age` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' COMMENT '年龄',
  `pos` varchar(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COMMENT '职位',
  `add_time` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP COMMENT '入职时间',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `idx_nap` (`name`,`age`,`pos`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=8 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='员工记录表';

表中数据如下:
id  name    age pos     add_time
1   July    23  dev     2018-06-04 16:02:02
2   Clive   22  dev     2018-06-04 16:02:32
3   Cleva   24  test    2018-06-04 16:02:38
4   July    23  test    2018-06-04 16:12:22
5   July    23  pre     2018-06-04 16:12:37
6   Clive   22  pre     2018-06-04 16:12:48
7   July    25  dev     2018-06-04 16:30:17

Explain语句看下执行计划

-- 全匹配走了索引
explain select * from staffs where name = 'July' and age = 23 and pos = 'dev';
id  select_type table   partitions  type    possible_keys   key key_len ref rows    filtered    Extra
1   SIMPLE  staffs  NULL    ref idx_nap idx_nap 140 const,const,const   1   100.00  NULL

开启优化器跟踪优化过程

-- 左侧部分匹配却没有走索引,全表扫描
explain select * from staffs where name = 'July' and age = 23;
id  select_type table   partitions  type    possible_keys   key key_len ref rows    filtered    Extra
1   SIMPLE  staffs2 NULL    ALL idx_nap NULL    NULL    NULL    6   50.00   Using where
-- 开启优化器跟踪
set session optimizer_trace='enabled=on';
-- 在执行完查询语句后,在执行以下的select语句可以查看具体的优化器执行过程
select * from information_schema.optimizer_trace;
