MySql中count与limit混用引发的一点点思考
问题描述
version 5.7
数据量: 100W
目的: 利用select count查询表是否存在
问题: 数据量大的时候select count也会慢(表无主键、唯一建，无索引)，在count后增加limit不能得到预期结果
原因: 因为limit的作用是限制返回结果。而count仅返回了一条数据，limit N 都将和没有limit结果一样
mysql> select count(*) from t1;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.87 sec)
mysql> select count(*) from t1 limit 1;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.74 sec)
-- count和limit组合得到的结果与count一致
-- 因为limit的作用是限制返回结果。而count仅返回了一条数据，limit N 都将和没有limit结果一样
为了让在大数据量的情况下使用count来判断表是否存在，执行的更快
通过执行速度来看，使用方法2、方法3都是ok的。
解决办法1：
--- 嵌套子查询
mysql> select count(*) from (select * from t2 limit 1) a;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 1 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
解决办法2:
--- 但上述情况中的select * 效果不好，改掉它
mysql> select count(*) from (select 1 from t2 limit 1) a;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 1 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
解决办法3
-- 为什么要使用select 来判断表是否存在呢？
mysql> select TABLE_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where table_schema = 'zss'
+------------+
| TABLE_NAME |
+------------+
| t2 |
+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
小彩蛋
-- 有很多的人都说count(*) 没有count(0)快。恰逢我又有100W的一张表，我先来试试。 3次为准!!!
--------------------------- count(*) start ---------------------------
mysql> select count(*) from t2;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.70 sec)
mysql> select count(*) from t2;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.73 sec)
mysql> select count(*) from t2;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.71 sec)
--------------------------- count(0) start ---------------------------
mysql> select count(0) from t2;
+----------+
| count(0) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.70 sec)
mysql> select count(0) from t2;
+----------+
| count(0) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.71 sec)
mysql> select count(0) from t2;
+----------+
| count(0) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.70 sec)
--------------------------- count(1) start ---------------------------
mysql> select count(1) from t2;
+----------+
| count(1) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.72 sec)
mysql> select count(1) from t2;
+----------+
| count(1) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.71 sec)
mysql> select count(1) from t2;
+----------+
| count(1) |
+----------+
| 1000000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.71 sec)
有人说count(0)和count(*)相比，count(0)的速度要快很多。再100W的数据表上并没有比较出来这样的性能。有人还会说，没有主键count(0)就会比较快。
下面是我的表信息，无索引，无主键。在100w的数据上也表现如上，并没有性能差异。
---- 该表无索引
mysql> show index from t2;
Empty set (0.01 sec)
---- 该表无主键
mysql> select table_schema, table_name,column_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE t where t.table_schema='t2';
Empty set (0.00 sec)
