Mysql慢查询: INNER JOIN + ORDER BY causes filesort

Question

我正在尝试优化此查询:

SELECT `posts`.* FROM `posts` INNER JOIN `posts_tags` 
     ON `posts`.id = `posts_tags`.post_id 
     WHERE  (((`posts_tags`.tag_id = 1))) 
     ORDER BY posts.created_at DESC;

表的大小是 38k 行，31k 和 mysql 使用“文件排序”，所以它变得相当慢。我尝试使用不同的索引，但没有成功。

CREATE TABLE `posts` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `created_at` datetime default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `index_posts_on_created_at` (`created_at`),
  KEY `for_tags` (`trashed`,`published`,`clan_private`,`created_at`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=44390 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci

CREATE TABLE `posts_tags` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `post_id` int(11) default NULL,
  `tag_id` int(11) default NULL,
  `created_at` datetime default NULL,
  `updated_at` datetime default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `index_posts_tags_on_post_id_and_tag_id` (`post_id`,`tag_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=63175 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

我需要定义什么样的索引来避免 mysql 使用文件排序？ order字段不在where子句中是否可以？

更新2:

真实查询(更多 bool 字段，更多无用索引)

SELECT `posts`.* FROM `posts` INNER JOIN `posts_tags` 
   ON `posts`.id = `posts_tags`.post_id 
   WHERE ((`posts_tags`.tag_id = 7971)) 
       AND (((posts.trashed = 0) 
       AND (`posts`.`published` = 1 
       AND `posts`.`clan_private` = 0)) 
       AND ((`posts_tags`.tag_id = 7971)))  
   ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 0, 10; 

空集(1.25秒)

没有 ORDER BY — 0.01 秒。

解决方案

1. 查询已更新为“ORDER BY posts_tags.created_at DESC”(应用代码中有两处小变化)
2. 已添加索引:index_posts_tags_on_created_at。

仅此而已!

Answer 1

您需要稍微反规范化，并将 posts.created_at 字段复制到 post_tags 表中(我将其称为 post_created_at，您可以按照自己的意愿命名):

CREATE TABLE `posts_tags` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `post_id` int(11) default NULL,
  `tag_id` int(11) default NULL,
  `post_created_at` datetime default NULL,
  `created_at` datetime default NULL,
  `updated_at` datetime default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `index_posts_tags_on_post_id_and_tag_id` (`post_id`,`tag_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

然后将索引添加到 posts_tags 上

(tag_id, post_created_at)

这将允许查询以正确的顺序获取某个标签的所有帖子，而无需进行文件排序。
