Mysql-Explain（四）：输出列-select_type

简介

select_type	查询的类型，主要用来区别普通查询，联合查询，子查询等复杂查询	SIMPLE	简单的select查询，查询中不包含子查询或者UNION
		PRIMARY	查询中若包含任何复杂的子部分，最外层的查询则被标记为PRIMARY
		SUBQUERY	在select或者where列表中包含了子查询
		DERIVED	在from列表中包含的子查询会被标记为DERICED(衍生)，Mysql会递归地执行这些子查询，然后把结果放到临时表
		UNION	若第二个select语句出现在UNION之后，则被标记为UNION。若UNION包含在from子句的子查询中，外层select则被标记为DERIVED
		UNION RESULT	从union表获取结果的select

• SIMPLE：简单的select查询，查询中不包含子查询或者UNION

  mysql> explain select * from student;

  |  1 | SIMPLE      | student | NULL       | ALL   | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL  | 1994898 |    10.00 | Using where |
  +----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+----------+-------------+

• PRIMARY：查询中若包含任何复杂的子部分，最外层的查询则被标记为PRIMARY

  mysql> explain
      -> select * from student
      -> where student.school_id = (select id from school where id < 2);
  +----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+---------+----------+--------------------------+
  | id | select_type | table   | partitions | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref  | rows    | filtered | Extra                    |
  +----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+---------+----------+--------------------------+
  |  1 | PRIMARY     | student | NULL       | ALL   | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL | 1994898 |    10.00 | Using where              |
  |  2 | SUBQUERY    | school  | NULL       | range | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | NULL |       1 |   100.00 | Using where; Using index |
  +----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+---------+----------+--------------------------+
  2 rows in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
  

  上图所示，对表school的查询的select_type是subquery，表示这是个子查询，对表student的查询的select_type是PRIMARY，表示这是主查询。子查询的id为2，大于主查询id，表示先执行了子查询，再执行主查询。

• SUBQUERY：在select或者where列表中包含了子查询
  where列表的子查询如上面PRIMARY例子所示，select列表的子查询如下面所示：

  mysql> explain
      -> select student.*,(select name from school where id =1) from student
      -> where student.school_id = 1;
  +----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+----------+-------------+
  | id | select_type | table   | partitions | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref   | rows    | filtered | Extra       |
  +----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+----------+-------------+
  |  1 | PRIMARY     | student | NULL       | ALL   | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL  | 1994898 |    10.00 | Using where |
  |  2 | SUBQUERY    | school  | NULL       | const | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | const |       1 |   100.00 | NULL        |
  +----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+-------+---------+----------+-------------+
  2 rows in set, 1 warning (0.03 sec)
  

• DERIVED：在from列表中包含的子查询会被标记为DERICED(衍生)，Mysql会递归地执行这些子查询，然后把结果放到临时表

  mysql> explain
      -> select student.*,sc.name from
      -> (select * from school where school.id < 10 limit 2)sc,student
      -> where sc.id = student.school_id;
  +----+-------------+------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+---------+----------+----------------------------------------------------+
  | id | select_type | table      | partitions | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref  | rows    | filtered | Extra                                              |
  +----+-------------+------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+---------+----------+----------------------------------------------------+
  |  1 | PRIMARY     | <derived2> | NULL       | ALL   | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL |       2 |   100.00 | NULL                                               |
  |  1 | PRIMARY     | student    | NULL       | ALL   | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL | 1994898 |    10.00 | Using where; Using join buffer (Block Nested Loop) |
  |  2 | DERIVED     | school     | NULL       | range | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | NULL |       9 |   100.00 | Using where                                        |
  +----+-------------+------------+------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+---------+----------+----------------------------------------------------+
  3 rows in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
  

  explain返回的第三行记录中，select_type=DERIVED，表示对school的查询结果会派生出新的临时表，这张临时表就是第一行记录中显示的<derived2>。

• UNION：若第二个select语句出现在UNION之后，则被标记为UNION。若UNION包含在from子句的子查询中，外层select则被标记为DERIVED

  mysql> explain
      -> select student.*,school.name as school_name from student left join school on student.school_id=school.id where school.name is null
      -> union
      -> select student.*,major.name as major_name from student left join major on student.major_id=major.id where major.name is null;
  +----+--------------+------------+------------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+------------------------+---------+----------+-----------------+
  | id | select_type  | table      | partitions | type   | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref                    | rows    | filtered | Extra           |
  +----+--------------+------------+------------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+------------------------+---------+----------+-----------------+
  |  1 | PRIMARY      | student    | NULL       | ALL    | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL                   | 1994898 |   100.00 | NULL            |
  |  1 | PRIMARY      | school     | NULL       | eq_ref | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | mydb.student.school_id |       1 |    10.00 | Using where     |
  |  2 | UNION        | student    | NULL       | ALL    | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL                   | 1994898 |   100.00 | NULL            |
  |  2 | UNION        | major      | NULL       | eq_ref | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | mydb.student.major_id  |       1 |    10.00 | Using where     |
  | NULL | UNION RESULT | <union1,2> | NULL       | ALL    | NULL          | NULL    | NULL    | NULL                   |    NULL |     NULL | Using temporary |
  +----+--------------+------------+------------+--------+---------------+---------+---------+------------------------+---------+----------+-----------------+
  5 rows in set, 1 warning (0.02 sec)
  

  从上面返回的结果中可以看出，对student和major的联合查询被标记为了UNION，并且在Id上也被标记为同一组。

• UNION RESULT：从union表获取结果的select
  还是回到上面UNION的例子中去，第五行记录所示，union上下的查询语句会把结果合并到临时表<union1,2>中，再从临时表中读取结果。
