用 EXPLAIN 查看子查询的执行计划

MatrixOne 会执行多种子查询相关的优化,以提升子查询的执行性能。本文档介绍一些常见子查询的优化方式,以及如何解读 EXPLAIN 语句返回的执行计划信息。

从 SQL 语句执行情况上,子查询语句一般有以下两种形式:

  • 无关联子查询 (Self-contained Subquery):数据库嵌套查询中内层查询是完全独立于外层查询的。

    例如:select * from t1 where t1.id in (select t2.id from t2 where t2.id>=3); 执行顺序为:

    • 先执行内层查询:(select t2.id from t2 where t2.id>=3)

    • 得到内层查询的结果后带入外层,再执行外层查询。

  • 关联子查询(Correlated Subquery):数据库嵌套查询中内层查询和外层查询不相互独立,内层查询也依赖于外层查询。

    例如:SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE id in (SELECT id FROM t2 WHERE t1.ti = t2.ti and t2.id>=4); 一般情况下,执行顺序为:

    • 先从外层查询中查询中一条记录:SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE id

    • 再将查询到的记录放到内层查询中符合条件的记录,再放到外层中查询。

    • 重复以上步骤

    但是 MatrixOne 在处理该 SQL 语句时会将其改写为等价的 JOIN 查询:select t1.* from t1 join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t2.id>=4;

示例

我们这里准备一个简单的示例,帮助你理解使用 EXPLAIN 解读子查询的执行计划。

可以看到这个执行计划的执行顺序是:

  1. 先执行内层查询:(select t2.id from t2 where t2.id>=3)

  2. 得到内层查询的结果后带入外层,再执行外层查询。

MatrixOne 在处理该 SQL 语句时会将其改写为等价的 JOIN 查询:select t1.* from t1 join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t2.id>=4;,可以看到这个执行计划的执行顺序是:

  1. 先执行过滤查询 where t2.id>=4;

  2. 再扫描表 Table Scan on db1.t2,将结果“流入”父节点后,

  3. 扫描表 Table Scan on db1.t1

  4. 最后执行 JOIN 查询。
