After the MySQL ORDER BY primary key id plus LIMIT limit reaches a certain threshold, why not expect the index and go to the primary key index?

background and phenomena

  • the amount of data in the report_product_sales_ data table is 28 million;
  • it has been tested that when the, order by primary key id,limit reaches 49 under the current data volume, the PRIMARY primary key index can be used when the index report_product_sales_data_hq_code_orgz_id_index, is greater than 49.

question

through the phenomenon, we can see that when MySQL order by primary key id, the threshold value reaches a certain critical value (in the data environment I tested, limit > = 50 will take the primary key index), the execution plan is changed and the primary key index is selected, but I don"t know what the specific rules are. With the guidance of the Great God, why does this change of implementation plan occur?

Mysql mysql-optimizes mysql-index
Mar.16,2021

Optimizer is based on the comprehensive consideration of RBO and CBO, not necessarily the most efficient index., full scan table and full scan index are sometimes more efficient.

suppose you query LIMIT 1, and the data that meets the WHERE condition has just been inserted. Is the WHERE conditional index faster, or is the ORDER BY id primary key faster? Obviously, it is faster to follow the primary key full scan index

this is the choice of MYSQL query optimizer. If you think the query optimizer does not choose the optimal index, you can use force index
