本篇内容介绍了“MySQL为什么有时候会选错索引”的有关知识，在实际案例的操作过程中，不少人都会遇到这样的困境，接下来就让小编带领大家学习一下如何处理这些情况吧！希望大家仔细阅读，能够学有所成！
今天在生产环境中看到一个慢SQL，是个核心业务表，数据1300万+
看一下表索引：
mysql>show index from `order`

我们看一下执行计划：
mysql>EXPLAIN SELECT id,order_seq,user_id
FROM
`ORDER`
WHERE
delete_flag = 0
AND user_id = 'd4b0c318b28a46968718dddbaf4775c0'
AND display_status = 2
ORDER BY

+--------------+-----------------------+-----------------+----------------------+----------------+-------------------------+----------------+-------------------+---------------+----------------+--------------------+-----------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | ORDER | | index | idx_user | idx_order_time | 5 | | 2705 | 0.01 | Using where |
+--------------+-----------------------+-----------------+----------------------+----------------+-------------------------+----------------+-------------------+---------------+----------------+--------------------+-----------------+执行计划中看到，这个SQL走索引idx_order_time，根据经验判断，此索引效率很差。而扫描行数为2705，慢日志显示扫描行数为13,347,074，二者相差甚远，那么为什么会出现如此大的差异呢？
选择索引是优化器的工作。而优化器选择索引的目的，是找一个最优的执行方案，并用最小的代价去执行语句。在数据库里面，扫描行数是影响执行代价的因素之一。扫描的行数越少，意味着访问磁盘数据的次数越少，消耗的CPU资源越少。
当然，扫描行数并不是唯一的判断标准，优化器还会结合是否使用临时表，是否排序等因素进行综合判断。扫描行数是怎么判断的？
MySQL在真正执行SQL之前，并不能准确的判断满足这个条件的数据有多少行，只能按统计信息来估算行数。
索引的统计信息就是索引的“区分度”，一个索引不同的值越多，这个索引的区分度就越好，而一个索引上不同的值的个数，我们称之为“基数”，基数越大，索引的区分度越好。
若强制使用idx_user索引，看下执行情况：
mysql>SELECT id,order_seq,user_id
FROM
`ORDER` force index(idx_user)
WHERE
delete_flag = 0
AND user_id = 'd4b0c318b28a46968718dddbaf4775c0'
AND display_status = 2
ORDER BY
order_time asc
LIMIT 0,20

+--------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+查询速度还是很快的，看一下执行计划：

返回行数：[1]，耗时：14 ms.总结：在此业务场景中，MySQL优化器认为检索38000行数据然后进行排序要比检索15行数据排序代价大得多，所以选择了有序的索引idx_order_time，但未必是最快的执行计划。
但是，此处还有一个疑问，如果对于user_id：d4b0c318b28a46968718dddbaf4775c0，不使用limit分页，执行计划是什么样呢？
mysql>SELECT *

返回行数：[1]，耗时：4 ms.查询速度很快，执行计划走了user_id字段的索引。为什么会出现这样的情况呢？
查阅了相关资料，对于order by limit这样的排序，当检索到的数据较多的时候，排序消耗是很大的，这个时候由于优化器选择了有序的idx_order_time而导致执行索引选择错误。
优化办法：
1、强制使用索引idx_user；
2、创建组合索引idx_uid_ordertime(user_id,order_time)
mysql>alter table `ORDER` add index idx_uid_ordertime(user_id,order_time)
