I've seen a lot of similar questions, but I'm not seeing a solution that will work for me. Or maybe I'm just being dense. :) Hopefully someone can help me out.
I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE `table_name` (
`value1` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`value2` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`value3` tinytext,
`value4` tinytext,
`value5` tinytext,
`value6` char(3) DEFAULT NULL,
`value7` char(3) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`value1`),
KEY value2_index ('value2')
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=46 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
To verify my indexes were set, this is the SHOW INDEX result:
+--------------+------------+----------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Colu开发者_如何学Gomn_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment |
+--------------+------------+----------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| table_name | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | value1 | A | 43 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| table_name | 1 | value2_index | 1 | value2 | A | NULL | NULL | NULL | YES | BTREE | |
+--------------+------------+----------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Where I'm running this query:
SELECT value2, value6
FROM table_name
WHERE value7 = 'Yes'
ORDER BY value2;
I thought by adding an index on value2, it would stop the query from using filesort. However, the EXPLAIN shows differently:
+----+-------------+--------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | table_name | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 43 | Using where; Using filesort |
+----+-------------+--------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
The query first needs to find rows with value7 = 'Yes', meaning your index must include value7 as the first column, to be used. For those rows that match, it needs to order by value2. So that query needs a multi-column index on (value7, value2).
You can read more about indexes in the MySQL docs.
