Mysql Explain 详解

一.语法

explain < table_name >

例如: explain select * from t3 where id=3952602;

二.explain输出解释

+----+-------------+-------+-------+-------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | type  | possible_keys     | key     | key_len | ref   | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+-------------------+---------+---------+-------+------+-------+

1.id
  我的理解是SQL执行的顺利的标识,SQL从大到小的执行.

例如:
mysql> explain select * from (select * from ( select * from t3 where id=3952602) a) b;
+----+-------------+------------+--------+-------------------+---------+---------+------+------+-------+
| id | select_type | table      | type   | possible_keys     | key     | key_len | ref  | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+------------+--------+-------------------+---------+---------+------+------+-------+
|  1 | PRIMARY     |
