一、执行计划（只是自己理解）
1，id）：
id 相同，执行顺序由上到下，按照我的理解，通常发生于子查询；
id 不同，如果是子查询，id的序号会递增，id越大则优先级越高，越先会被执行；
id 既不同又相同，id如果相同，可以认为是一组，从上往下顺序执行；在所有组中，id值越大，优先级越高，越先执行；
2，select_type）：
simple：简单的select查询，查询中不包含子查询或者union；
primary：查询中包含任何复杂的子部分，最外层查询则被标记为primary；
subquery：在select 或 where列表中（除了from字句中包含的子查询外）包含了子查询，可能是subquery；
derived：表示用了临时表；
union result：从union表获取结果的select；
3，table）：
显示的查询表名，如果查询使用了别名，那么这里显示的是别名；
如果不涉及对数据表的操作，那么这显示为null；
如果显示为尖括号括起来的<derived N>就表示这个是临时表，后边的N就是执行计划中的id，表示结果来自于这个查询产生；
如果是尖括号括起来的<union M,N>，与<derived N>类似，也是一个临时表，表示这个结果来自于union查询的id为M,N的结果集；
4，type）访问数据的方式：
system > const > eq_ref > ref > fulltext > ref_or_null > index_merge > unique_subquery > index_subquery > range > index > ALL
system：可以忽略不计；
const：使用唯一索引或者主键，返回记录一定是1行记录的等值where条件时，通常type是const；
eq_ref：看不懂；
ref：普通的索引扫描方式；
all：这个就是全表扫描数据文件，然后再在server层进行过滤返回符合要求的记录。
possible_keys：查询可能使用到的索引都会在这里列出来；如果为NULL，说明没有WHERE条件时查询优化器无法通过索引检索数据。
key：查询真正使用到的索引，select_type为index_merge时，这里可能出现两个以上的索引，其他的select_type这里只会出现一个。
rows：这里是执行计划中估算的扫描行数，不是精确值。
extra：这个列可以显示的信息非常多，有几十种，常用的有：
using filesort：排序时无法使用到索引时，就会出现这个。常见于order by和group by语句中。
using index：查询时不需要回表查询，直接通过索引就可以获取查询的数据（表明使用了覆盖索引）。
Using index condition, Using where; 用了索引，但是需要回表查找；（目前我的理解是这样）
二、实战

id当然为主键，其外就建立了一个联合索引（注意，联合索引的顺序很重要，很重要）
mysql> SHOW INDEX FROM test_person; +-------------+------------+---------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+ | Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment | Index_comment | +-------------+------------+---------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+ | test_person | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | id | A | 3 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | | | test_person | 1 | idx_age_birth | 1 | age | A | 3 | NULL | NULL | YES | BTREE | | | | test_person | 1 | idx_age_birth | 2 | birthday | A | 3 | NULL | NULL | YES | BTREE | | | +-------------+------------+---------------+--------------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+---------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
例子一，注意order by 后面的以及extra下面的，在这里where后面的条件不变：
mysql> explain select * from test_person where age > 20 order by age; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | idx_age_birth | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using where; Using index | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person WHERE age > 20 ORDER BY age,birthday; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | idx_age_birth | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using where; Using index | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person WHERE age > 20 ORDER BY birthday; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | idx_age_birth | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using where; Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person WHERE age > 20 ORDER BY birthday,age; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | idx_age_birth | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using where; Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
例子二，注意order by 后面的以及extra下面的，在这里where后面的条件不变：
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person WHERE birthday > '2012-12-12 00:00:00' ORDER BY age; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using where; Using index | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person WHERE birthday > '2012-12-12 00:00:00' ORDER BY age,birthday; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using where; Using index | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person WHERE birthday > '2012-12-12 00:00:00' ORDER BY birthday; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using where; Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person WHERE birthday > '2012-12-12 00:00:00' ORDER BY birthday,age; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using where; Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
例子三，这里得出的结论是，要不就得是同时升序，要不就得是同时降序啊，否则用不到索引：
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person ORDER BY age DESC; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using index | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person ORDER BY birthday DESC; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person ORDER BY age ASC, birthday DESC; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person ORDER BY age DESC, birthday DESC; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using index | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
例子四：
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person ORDER BY id; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+-------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+-------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | PRIMARY | 4 | NULL | 3 | NULL | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person ORDER BY id,birthday; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_person ORDER BY id,age; +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | test_person | index | NULL | idx_age_birth | 11 | NULL | 3 | Using index; Using filesort | +----+-------------+-------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+-----------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec)
三、结论：
1）order by子句，尽量使用Index方式排序，在索引列上遵循索引的最佳左前缀原则。 复合（联合）索引形如 key (‘A1’,’A2’,’A3’ )，排序的思路一般是： 先按照A1来排序，A1相同，然后按照A2排序，以此类推，这样对于（A1）,(A1,A2), (A1,A2,A3)的索引都是有效的，但是对于（A2,A3）这样的索引就无效了。尽量避免因索引字段的缺失 或 索引字段顺序的不同 引起的FileSort排序。 2）mysql一次查询只能使用一个索引。如果要对多个字段使用索引，建立复合索引。 ORDER BY 能使用索引最左前缀： - ORDER BY a - ORDER BY a,b - ORDER BY a,b,c - ORDER BY a DESC,b DESC,c DESC 如果 WHERE 使用索引的最左前缀为常量，则 ORDER BY能使用索引： - WHERE a = const ORDER BY b,c - WHERE a = const AND b = const ORDER BY c - WHERE a = const AND b > const ORDER BY b,c (请看下面的例子) 不能使用索引进行排序： - order by a asc, b desc, c desc (排序不一致嘛) - where g = const order by b,c (丢失a索引) - where a = const order by c (丢失b索引) - where a = const order by a,d (d不是索引的一部分) - where a in(...) order by b,c (对于排序来说，多个相等的条件也是范围查询) - 如果a,b分别建立了一个索引（不是普通索引，而是联合索引），对于这样的排序 order by a,b 是不会走索引 - 如果查询条件为函数，也无法使用索引

group by与order by的索引优化基本一样，group by实质是先排序后分组，也就是分组之前必排序，遵照索引的最佳左前缀原则可以大大提高group by的效率。
