我的测试记录
一、概述
这个参数会影响到执行计划在评估的时候到底使用统计数据还是进行实际的所以你访问，那么很显然如下：
- 使用统计数据生成执行计划的效率更高。
- 使用索引实际访问，及索引下探会代价更高但是更加准确。
具体的参数含义见官方文档：
Equality Range Optimization of Many-Valued Comparisons
- 0 ：始终使用索引下探的方式。
- 1 ：不使用索引下探的方式。
- N ：1+N 条件个数。
欢迎关注我的《深入理解MySQL主从原理 32讲 》，如下：
二、示例
这也是为什么5.7中当出现数据大量切斜的时候执行计划依然能够得到正确的执行计划。比如性别列索引，其中30行，29行为男性，1行为女性，下面是执行计划示例：
mysql> set eq_range_index_dive_limit=100;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> desc select * from testdvi3 where sex='M';
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | testdvi3 | NULL | ALL | sex | NULL | NULL | NULL | 30 | 96.67 | Using where |
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (2.74 sec)
mysql> desc select * from testdvi3 where sex='W';
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | testdvi3 | NULL | ref | sex | sex | 9 | const | 1 | 100.00 | NULL |
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (2.00 sec)
mysql> set eq_range_index_dive_limit=1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> desc select * from testdvi3 where sex='W';
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | testdvi3 | NULL | ref | sex | sex | 9 | const | 15 | 100.00 | NULL |
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
mysql> desc select * from testdvi3 where sex='M';
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | testdvi3 | NULL | ref | sex | sex | 9 | const | 15 | 100.00 | NULL |
+----+-------------+----------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------+------+----------+-------+
第一次使用了索引下探，第二次禁用了索引下探。可以看到第二次的执行计划中rows明显的不对，且SEX='W'的时候不应该使用索引。
三、生效条件
- 唯一条件的等值查询也不会使用索引下探（= in or ）。
- 一般是非唯一索引或者范围查询（< > <= >=）才会用到索引下探，实际上他们都是‘RANGE’。
四、Tracing the Optimizer验证
- 索引下探
"analyzing_range_alternatives": {
"range_scan_alternatives": [
{
"index": "sex",
"ranges": [
"M <= sex <= M"
],
"index_dives_for_eq_ranges": true,
"rowid_ordered": true,
"using_mrr": false,
"index_only": false,
"rows": 29,
"cost": 35.81,
"chosen": false,
"cause": "cost"
}
],
- 禁用索引下探
"analyzing_range_alternatives": {
"range_scan_alternatives": [
{
"index": "sex",
"ranges": [
"M <= sex <= M"
],
"index_dives_for_eq_ranges": false,
"rowid_ordered": true,
"using_mrr": false,
"index_only": false,
"rows": 15,
"cost": 19.01,
"chosen": false,
"cause": "cost"
}
],五、源码调用接口
大概记录接口，如果要搞明白估计要看一年。
下面是源码栈帧，可以debug 执行计划生成的时候查看 ha_innobase::records_in_range函数的调用情况，如果索引下探必然命中函数 ha_innobase::records_in_range，否则不会命中。下面是一段英文注释处于 handler::multi_range_read_info_const函数中：
/*
Get the number of rows in the range. This is done by calling
records_in_range() unless:
1) The range is an equality range and the index is unique.
There cannot be more than one matching row, so 1 is
assumed. Note that it is possible that the correct number
is actually 0, so the row estimate may be too high in this
case. Also note: ranges of the form "x IS NULL" may have more
than 1 mathing row so records_in_range() is called for these.
2) a) The range is an equality range but the index is either
not unique or all of the keyparts are not used.
b) The user has requested that index statistics should be used
for equality ranges to avoid the incurred overhead of
index dives in records_in_range().
c) Index statistics is available.
Ranges of the form "x IS NULL" will not use index statistics
because the number of rows with this value are likely to be
very different than the values in the index statistics.
