InnoDB存储引擎下快速创建索引

InnoDB存储引擎下快速创建索引

在MySQL5.0版本前，新增或删除索引会很缓慢，特别是比较大的表。它需要创建一个新的表，然后将旧表中的数据插入到新的表中，更新索引，待这一切完成后再将旧表删掉并把新表的表名改成原来的表名。

从MySQL5.1版本开始，MySQL允许创建或删除索引不必拷贝整个表内容。在MySQL内置版本的InnoDB存储引擎并没有这种性能；InnoDB Plugin版本可以实现。

在InnoDB中，表中行存储在聚集索引或主键索引，称之为索引组织表。不管是内置版本的InnoDB存储引擎还是InnoDB Plugin存储引擎，更改聚集索引或主键都需要复制数据。但是添加或删除InnoDB Plugin辅助索引的速度要快得多，因为它不涉及复制数据。

Built-in InnoDB版本下：

mysql> CREATE TABLE T1(A INT PRIMARY KEY, B INT, C CHAR(1)) ENGINE=InnoDB;
mysql> set profiling = 1;
mysql> ALTER TABLE T1 ADD INDEX (B), ADD UNIQUE INDEX (C);
mysql> show profile cpu for query 8;

重构聚集索引或主键索引时，InnoDB需要拷贝数据。如下：

mysql> CREATE TABLE T2 (A INT, B INT) ENGINE=InnoDB;
mysql> set profiling = 1;
mysql> ALTER TABLE T2 ADD PRIMARY KEY (B);
mysql> show profile cpu for query 1;

在创建UNIQUE或PRIMARY KEY索引时，Innodb还需要做一些额外的工作。对于UNIQUE索引，InnoDB需要检查表不包含重复的键值。对于PRIMARY KEY索引，InnoDB需要检查主键列有没包含NULL。因此最好在创建表的同时，创建主键。

注意：如何添加或删除REFERENCES外键约束，子表还是需要复制数据的。
