前言：
我们在日常维护数据库的时候，经常会遇到查询慢的语句，这时候一般会通过执行EXPLAIN去查看它的执行计划，但是执行计划往往只给我们带来了最基础的分析信息，比如是否有使用索引，还有一些其他供我们分析的信息，比如使用了临时表、排序等等，却无法展示为什么一些其他的执行计划未被选择，比如说明明有索引，或者好几个索引，但是为什么查询时未使用到期望的索引等。
explain select * from basic_person_info t1 join basic_person_info2 t2 on t1.id_num=t2.id_num where t1.age >10 and t2.age<20;
+----+-------------+-------+------------+--------+--------------------------------------+---------------+---------+----------------+------+----------+-----------------------+

2 rows in set, 1 warning (0.01 sec)
如上面这个例子，为什么t2表上列出了多个可能使用的索引，却选择了idx_age，优化器为什么选择了指定的索引，这时候并不能直观的看出问题，这时候我们就可以开启optimizer_trace跟踪分析MySQL具体是怎么选择出最优的执行计划的。
OPTIMIZER_TRACE：
optimizer_trace是什么：
optimizer_trace是一个具有跟踪功能的工具，可以跟踪执行的语句的解析优化执行过程，并将跟踪到的信息记录到INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE表中，但是每个会话都只能跟踪它自己执行的语句，并且表中默认只记录最后一个查询的跟踪结果。
使用方法：
# 打开optimizer trace功能 (默认情况下它是关闭的):
set optimizer_trace="enabled=on";
select ...; # 这里输入你自己的查询语句
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE;
# 当你停止查看语句的优化过程时，把optimizer trace功能关闭
set optimizer_trace="enabled=off";
相关参数：
mysql> show variables like '%optimizer_trace%';
+------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| optimizer_trace | enabled=on,one_line=off |
| optimizer_trace_features | greedy_search=on,range_optimizer=on,dynamic_range=on,repeated_subselect=on |
| optimizer_trace_limit | 1 |
| optimizer_trace_max_mem_size | 1048576 |
| optimizer_trace_offset | -1 |
+------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- optimizer_trace： enabled 开启/关闭optimizer_trace，one_line 是否单行显示，关闭为json模式，一般不开启
- optimizer_trace_features：跟踪信息中可打印的项，一般不调整默认打印所有项
- optimizer_trace_limit：存储的跟踪sql条数
- optimizer_trace_offset：开始记录的sql语句的偏移量，负数表示从最近执行倒数第几条开始记录
- optimizer_trace_max_mem_size：optimizer_trace内存的大小，如果跟踪信息超过这个大小，信息将会被截断
optimizer_trace表信息：
该表总共有4个字段
- QUERY 表示我们的查询语句。
- TRACE 表示优化过程的JSON格式文本。(重点关注)
- MISSING_BYTES_BEYOND_MAX_MEM_SIZE 由于优化过程可能会输出很多，如果超过某个限制时，多余的文本将不会被显示，这个字段展示了被忽略的文本字节数。
- INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGES 表示是否没有权限查看优化过程，默认值是0，只有某些特殊情况下才会是 1，我们暂时不关心这个字段的值。
信息解读：
通过 optimizer_trace表的query字段可以看到，一条语句的执行过程主要分为三个步骤：
"join_preparation": {},（准备阶段）
"join_optimization": {},（优化阶段）
"join_execution": {},（执行阶段）
各个步骤的详细内容解读：
- preparation：
expanded_query ：将语句进行格式化，补充隐藏的列名和表名等
transformations_to_nested_joins ：查询重写，比如join的on改为where语句
- optimization：
condition_processing{ ：条件句处理。
transformation{：转换类型句。这三次的转换分别是
equality_propagation（等值条件句转换），如：a = b and b = c and c = 5
constant_propagation（常量条件句转换），如：a = 1 AND b > a
trivial_condition_removal（无效条件移除的转换），如：1 = 1
}
}
substitute_generated_columns ：替换虚拟生成列，测试了很多sql，这一列都没有看到有用的信息
table_dependencies ：梳理表之间的依赖关系。
ref_optimizer_key_uses ：如果优化器认为查询可以使用ref的话，在这里列出可以使用的索引。
rows_estimation{ ：估算表行数和扫描的代价。如果查询中存在range扫描的话，对range扫描进行计划分析及代价估算。
table_scan：全表扫描的行数(rows)以及所需要的代价(cost)。
potential_range_indexes：该阶段会列出表中所有的索引并分析其是否可用，并且还会列出索引中可用的列字段。
analyzing_range_alternatives ：分析可选方案的代价。
}
considered_execution_plans{ ：对比各可行计划的代价，选择相对最优的执行计划。
plan_prefix：前置的执行计划。
best_access_path：当前最优的执行顺序信息结果集。
access_type表示使用索引的方式，可参照为explain中的type字段。
condition_filtering_pct：类似于explain中的filtered列，这是一个估算值。
rows_for_plan：该执行计划最终的扫描行数，这里的行数其实也是估算值，是由considered_access_paths的resulting_rows相乘之后再乘以condition_filtering_pct获得。
cost_for_plan：该执行计划的执行代价，由considered_access_paths的cost相加而得。
chosen：是否选择了该执行计划。
}
attaching_conditions_to_tables ：添加附加条件，使得条件尽可能筛选单表数据。
refine_plan ：优化后的执行计划。
trace信息中的json信息很长，因为我们关心的是不同执行计划的cost区别，所以只需要重点关注两个部分rows_estimation 和considered_execution_plans。
代价模型计算：
统计信息和cost计算参数：
计算cost会涉及到表的主键索引数据页(聚簇索引)数量和表中的记录数，两个信息都可以通过innodb的表统计信息mysql.innodb_table_stats查到，n_rows是记录数，clustered_index_size是聚簇索引页数。
mysql> select * from mysql.innodb_table_stats where table_name='basic_person_info';
+---------------+-------------------+---------------------+--------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| database_name | table_name | last_update | n_rows | clustered_index_size | sum_of_other_index_sizes |
+---------------+-------------------+---------------------+--------+----------------------+--------------------------+
| test | basic_person_info | 2022-12-23 18:27:24 | 86632 | 737 | 1401 |
+---------------+-------------------+---------------------+--------+----------------------+--------------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
代价模型将操作分为Server层和Engine（存储引擎）层两类，Server层主要是CPU代价，Engine层主要是IO代价，比如MySQL从磁盘读取一个数据页的代价io_block_read_cost为1，从buffer pool读取的代价memory_block_read_cost为0.25，计算符合条件的行代价为row_evaluate_cost为0.1，除此之外还有：
- memory_temptable_create_cost (default 1.0) 内存临时表的创建代价。
- memory_temptable_row_cost (default 0.1) 内存临时表的行代价。
- key_compare_cost (default 0.1) 键比较的代价，例如排序。
- disk_temptable_create_cost (default 20.0) 内部myisam或innodb临时表的创建代价。
- disk_temptable_row_cost (default 0.5) 内部myisam或innodb临时表的行代价。
这些都可以通过mysql.server_cost、mysql.engine_cost查看defalt值和设置值
mysql> select * from mysql.server_cost;
+------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
| cost_name | cost_value | last_update | comment | default_value |
+------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
| disk_temptable_create_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 20 |

+------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+

+-------------+-------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
| engine_name | device_type | cost_name | cost_value | last_update | comment | default_value |
+-------------+-------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
| default | 0 | io_block_read_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 1 |
| default | 0 | memory_block_read_cost | NULL | 2023-01-09 11:17:39 | NULL | 0.25 |
+-------------+-------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
计算公式：
如上面介绍的一样，代价模型将操作分为两类io_cost和cpu_cost，io_cost+cpu_cost就是总的cost，下面是具体的计算方法：
全表扫描：
全表扫描成本 = io_cost + 1.1 + cpu_cost + 1
io_cost = clustered_index_size (统计信息中的主键页数) * avg_single_page_cost(读取一个页的平均成本)
avg_single_page_cost = pages_in_memory_percent * 0.25(memory_block_read_cost) + pages_on_disk_percent * 1.0(io_block_read_cost)
pages_in_memory_percent 表示已经加载到 Buffer Pool 中的叶结点占所有叶结点的比例 pages_on_disk_percent 表示没有加载到 Buffer Pool 中的叶结点占所有叶结点的比例
所以当数据已经全部读取到buffer pool中的时候：
io_cost=clustered_index_size * 0.25
都没有读取到buffer pool中的时候：
io_cost=clustered_index_size * 1.0
当部分数据在buffer pool中，部分数据需要从磁盘读取时，这时的系数介于0.25到1之间
cpu_cost = n_rows(统计信息中记录数) * 0.1(row_evaluate_cost)
走索引的成本：
和全表扫描的计算方法类似，其中io_cost与搜索的区间数有关，比如扫描三个区间where a between 1 and 10 or a between 20 and 30 or a between 40 and 50，此时：
io_cost=3 * avg_single_page_cost
cpu_cost=记录数 * 0.1(row_evaluate_cost)+0.01(代码中的微调参数)
针对二级索引还会有回表的操作：
MySQL认为每次回表都相当于是访问一个页面，所以每次回表都会进行一次IO，这部分成本：
io_cost=rows(记录数)*avg_single_page_cost
对回表查询的数据还需要进行一次计算：
cpu_cost=rows(记录数) * 0.1(row_evaluate_cost)(需要注意的是当索引需要回表扫描时，在rows_estimation阶段并不会计算这个值，在considered_execution_plans阶段会重新加上这部分成本)
所以针对需要回表的查询：
io_cost=查询区间 * avg_single_page_cost + rows(记录数) * avg_single_page_cost
cpu_cost=记录数 * 0.1(row_evaluate_cost) + 0.01(代码中的微调参数) + rows(记录数) * 0.1(row_evaluate_cost)
例子：
mysql> set optimizer_trace='enabled=on';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql>explain select * from basic_person_info t1 join basic_person_info2 t2 on t1.id_num=t2.id_num where t1.age >10 and t2.age<20;

成本常数修改：
前面已经介绍了成本常量值实际上存放在MySQL自带的系统库MySQL中的server_cost和engine_cost表中，其中server_cost表存放server层的成本常量，engine_cost表存放engine层成本常量
mysql> select * from mysql.server_cost;
+------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
| cost_name | cost_value | last_update | comment | default_value |
+------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
| disk_temptable_create_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 20 |
| disk_temptable_row_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 0.5 |
| key_compare_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 0.05 |
| memory_temptable_create_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 1 |
| memory_temptable_row_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 0.1 |
| row_evaluate_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 0.1 |
+------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
mysql> select * from mysql.engine_cost;
+-------------+-------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
| engine_name | device_type | cost_name | cost_value | last_update | comment | default_value |
+-------------+-------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
| default | 0 | io_block_read_cost | NULL | 2022-05-11 16:09:37 | NULL | 1 |
| default | 0 | memory_block_read_cost | NULL | 2023-01-09 11:17:39 | NULL | 0.25 |
+-------------+-------------+------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------+---------------+
其中 default_value的值是系统默认的，不能修改，cost_value列的值我们可以修改，如果cost_value列的值不为空系统将用该值覆盖默认值，我们可以通过update语句来修改
mysql> update mysql.engine_cost set cost_value=10 where cost_name='memory_block_read_cost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> update mysql.engine_cost set cost_value=10 where cost_name='io_block_read_cost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
很多资料都说执行flush optimizer_costs就可以生效，不过我在修改完后并执行flush optimizer_costs并不能马上生效，最后是通过重启数据库实例才生效，这个可能是数据库版本的差异，大家可以自行验证。
mysql> explain select * from basic_person_info t1 join basic_person_info2 t2 on t1.id_num=t2.id_num where t1.age >10 and t2.age<20;
+----+-------------+-------+------------+--------+--------------------------------------+---------------+---------+----------------+-------+----------+-------------+

| 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | NULL | eq_ref | id_num_unique,idx_age | id_num_unique | 60 | test.t2.id_num | 1 | 50.00 | Using where |
+----+-------------+-------+------------+--------+--------------------------------------+---------------+---------+----------------+-------+----------+-------------+
"table": "`basic_person_info2` `t2`",
"range_analysis": {
"table_scan": {
"rows": 73990,
"cost": 13491.1
全表扫描cost=609*10+73990*0.1+1.1+1= 13491.1
},
"index": "idx_age",
"ranges": [
"age < 20"
],
"index_dives_for_eq_ranges": true,
"rowid_ordered": false,
"using_mrr": false,
"index_only": false,
"rows": 9594,
"cost": 96909.4,
idx_age索引扫描cost=1*10+9594*10+9594*0.1=96,909.4
"chosen": false,
"cause": "cost"
},
修改后的执行计划，发现t2表走了全表扫描了而没有走idx_age索引，分别查看一下t2表走全表扫描和idx_age索引的cost发现全表扫描的cost为13491.1，而走索引的cost为96,909.4，因为全表扫描的cost比走索引低，所以优化器没有选择idx_age索引。
从这个例子可以看出，更改成本常量值会直接影响优化器的方案选择，所以一定要慎重，没有特殊原因建议不要修改。
explain format=json
虽然通过optimizer_trace可以看到很多详细的优化器选择过程，但是使用起来起来还是比较麻烦，需要过滤的信息很多，这时explain format=json输出json格式的分析数据也是一个不错的选择，它也包含语句将要执行的成本信息，如下：
query_cost 总查询成本
read_cost IO成本+除 eval_cost以外cpu成本
eval_cost 检测rows * filter条记录的成本
prefix_cost 单次查询的成本,等于read_cost+eval_cost
mysql> explain format=json select * from basic_person_info t1 join basic_person_info2 t2 on t1.id_num=t2.id_num where t1.age >10 and t2.age<20;

总结：
- MySQL的优化器是基于成本来选择最优执行方案的，哪个成本最少就选哪个，所以重点在于计算出各个执行计划的cost
- 成本由CPU成本和IO成本组成，每个成本常数值可以自己调整，非必要的情况下不要调整，以免影响整个数据库的执行计划选择
- 通过开启optimizer_trace可以跟踪优化器的各个环节的分析步骤，可以判断有时候为什么没有走索引而走了全表扫描
- explain加上format=json选项后可以查看成本信息分为read_cost和eval_cost，但只能看到当前已经选择的执行计划，另外通过show warnings可以看到优化器改写后的语句
