如何使MySQL在datetime列上使用功能索引? [英] How to make MySQL use functional index on a datetime column?

问题描述

假设我正在使用包含约1M行的表 data 运行MySQL 8.我想在 date 范围(使用日期索引)上过滤 datetime 列.

Say I'm running MySQL 8 with a table data containing about 1M rows. And I want to filter a datetime column on date a range (using a date index).

CREATE TABLE `data` (
  `rowId` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `data` json NOT NULL,
  `created` DATETIME NOT NULL,                               -- <-- datetime column for a date index
  `created_date` DATE AS (cast(`created` as date)) NOT NULL, -- <-- generated date column
  PRIMARY KEY (`rowId`),
  INDEX (`created`),                                         -- <-- datetime index w/ cardinality ~ 1M 
  INDEX (`created_date`)                                     -- <-- date index w/ cardinality of 1250
  INDEX `created_cast` ((cast(`created` as date)))           -- <-- functional "date" index w/ cardinality of 1250
  --     ^ I WANT TO USE THIS INDEX, BUT DON'T KNOW HOW
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

然后让我们仅过滤2018年以后的行，比如说:

Then let's filter rows only from 2018, let's say:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM data
WHERE created >= CAST('2018-01-01' AS DATE) AND created < CAST('2019-01-01' AS DATE);
-- Query time: 0.16 s
-- EXPLAIN shows: key: created, Using where; Using index
-- Uses the whole datetime index w/ cardinality of ~ 1M 


SELECT COUNT(*) FROM data 
WHERE created_date BETWEEN CAST('2018-01-01' AS DATE) AND CAST('2018-12-31' AS DATE);
-- Query time: 0.09 s
-- EXPLAIN shows: key: created_date, Using where; Using index
-- Uses the date index w/ cardinality of 1250


SELECT COUNT(*) FROM data
WHERE CAST(created AS DATE) BETWEEN CAST('2018-01-01' AS DATE) AND CAST('2018-12-31' AS DATE);
-- Query time: 0.35 s, that's slow!
-- EXPLAIN shows: key: NULL, Using where
-- Doesn't use any index at all! 

是否可以使用此功能索引?

以上查询使用 created (日期时间)或 created_date (生成列的日期)索引.

Is there a way to use this functional index?

The queries above use either created (datetime) or created_date (date from generated column) indexes.

是否可以直接使用功能索引 created_cast ?我什至尝试使用 USE INDEX 或 FORCE INDEX ，但没有运气.

Is there a way to use functional index created_cast directly? I've even tried with USE INDEX or FORCE INDEX, but no luck.

谢谢大家:)

推荐答案

我将重写您的查询并删除 CAST 并使用他生成的列，因为其中没有任何转换，但它需要空间.

I would rewrite your queries and remove the CAST and use the he generated column, as you have no conversion in it, but it needs space.

CREATE TABLE data (created datetime,
`created_date` DATE AS (cast(`created` as date)) NOT NULL,  INDEX testin (`created`),                                         -- <-- datetime index w/ cardinality ~ 1M 
  INDEX (`created_date`))

✓

INSERt INTO data (created) VALUEs('2018-02-01'),('2018-02-01'),('2018-02-01'),('2018-02-01')

    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM data
    WHERE YEAR(`created`) = 2018;
