MySql 字符集不同导致 left join 慢查询的问题解决!
MySql 字符集不同导致 left join 慢查询的问题解决!
在 MySql 建表时候一般会指定字符集,大多数情况下为了更好的兼容性无脑选了 utf8mb4。但是有时会因为选错,或历史遗留问题,导致使用了 utf8 字符集。当两个表的字符集不一样,在使用字符型字段进行表连接查询时,就需要特别注意下查询耗时是否符合预期。

有次使用 left join 写一个 SQL,发现用时明显超过预期,经过一顿折腾才发现是两个表字符集不一样,特此记录一下。

例如上面的 SQL,左表 1W 条数据,右表 400 多条数据,在 host_sn 字段上都有索引,查询竟然用了近 900ms,怎么会这么慢?

查看下执行计划,的确是使用了索引,但是细看 Extra 列发现较正常的连表查询多了“Using join buffer (Block Nested Loop)”这一信息,这个具体是什么意思我们后面再说。
然后我们再看下详细的执行计划,使用 explain formart=json。

特别需要关注的是这一对 KV
|

|
"attached_condition": "<if>(is_not_null_compl(p), (`collection_bullet_0000`.`t`.`host_sn` = convert(`collection_bullet_0000`.`p`.`host_sn` using utf8mb4)), true)" |
看字面意思就是当 p 表不为空的时候,执行表连接需要先将 p 表的 host_sn 字段转变为 utf8mb4 字符集。我们应该都知道在表连接中使用了函数的话,是无法使用索引的。
所以再回到上面我看到的“Using join buffer (Block Nested Loop)”问题,来解释下这是一个什么过程。
Nested-Loop Join
MySql 官网对 Nested-Loop Join 有做过解释,其实做开发的同学看到名字就大体知道是啥,不就是循环嵌套嘛。
MySql 中分为 Nested-Loop Join 算法跟 Block Nested-Loop Join 算法。
例如,有如下三个表,t1、t2、t3 使用了这三种 join type。
Table Join Type
t1 range
t2 ref
t3 ALL
当使用 Nested-Loop Join 算法时,其 join 过程如下所示,其实就是简单的三层循环。

|
for each row in t1 matching range {for each row in t2 matching reference key {for each row in t3 {if row satisfies join conditions, send to client}}} |
Block Nested-Loop Join(BNL) 算法是对 Nested-Loop Join 算法的一种优化。BNL 算法缓冲外部循环中读取的行来减少内部循环中读取表的次数。例如,将 10 行数据读取到缓冲器中,并且将缓冲器传递到下一个循环内部,内部循环中读取的每一行与缓冲器中的所有 10 行进行比较。这将使读取内部表的次数减少一个数量级。

算法实现如上,只有当 “join buffer” 满的时候才会触发 t3 表的读取,如果 “join buffer” 的 size = 10 那么就可以减少 10 倍的 t3 表被读取次数,从内存中读取数据的效率显然要比从磁盘读取的效率高的多。从而提升 join 的效率。
但其实再好的优化毕竟也是嵌套循环,做开发的同学应该都知道 O(N²) 的时间复杂度是无法接受的。这也是我们这个查询这么慢的根因。
解决办法
解决办法其实很简单,修改右表的字符集就可以解决。
在变更数据集之前我们先用 show table status 查看下当前表的状态。

接着使用如下命令变更表的字符集。
|

|
mysql> ALTER TABLE app_config_control_sn CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;Query OK, 457 rows affected (0.09 sec)Records: 457 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 |
再次使用 show table status 命令查看下表的状态。

可以看到表的字符集已经发生了变化,那我们再次执行开始的 SQL 及 explain 语句,确认下问题是否已经解决。

可以看到耗时已经只需要 30ms 左右,这个就比较符合预期,而在执行计划中也不再会有“Using join buffer (Block Nested Loop)”信息。

在没有变更字符集之前,当我们将 left join 修改为 join 的时候会发现耗时减少了 100 倍,只用了 10 ms,这是为什么呢?

查看执行计划,发现使用 join 的时候不会有 “Using join buffer (Block Nested Loop)”。再细看执行计划,发现驱动表已经由 t 表变为了 p 表。

查看详细的执行计划,可以看到
|
1
|
"attached_condition": "(`collection_bullet_0000`.`t`.`host_sn` = convert(`collection_bullet_0000`.`p`.`host_sn` using utf8mb4))" |
这对 KV 依然是存在的,但是 "using_join_buffer": "Block Nested Loop" 已经不存在了。这个其实主要是因为当 p 表变为驱动表的时候,会先将自己的 host_sn 字段转为 utf8mb4 字符集,再与 t 表进行关联。t 表由于本来就是 utf8mb4 字符集且存在索引,就可以正常走数据库索引了,所以查询耗时也就大大降低。而使用 left join 时候,t 表作为驱动表是无法优化改变的。
可见在表连接中即使使用了函数也不一定就没法走索引,关键还是要看用法及明确处理过程。
记得刚学习数据库的时候,老师还特别强调驱动表一定要写在左边,而随着数据库技术的不断迭代发展,数据库已经能更智能的自动帮我们优化处理过程,之前很多的数据库规则也不需要了。
