TiDB 索引没有被用于查询

Question

我正在使用 mysql 连接器连接 TiDB。 我发现我的查询中没有使用索引。 经过我的分析，我发现由于没有使用铸造索引。 例如

CREATE TABLE Employee (
ID BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
EmpID VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL
);
CREATE INDEX idx_EmpID ON Employee(EmpID);
1.Explain SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE EmpID= 123;
2.Explain SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE EmpID= '123';

在上面的示例中，如果我运行第一个查询并使用解释检查执行计划，那么在第二个查询中不使用索引，因为我正在为 varchar 数据类型索引提供引号。

但是，此解决方案需要通过 .net mysqlconnector 库进行测试。 目前我正在使用mysql命令参数来执行查询。

1.带AddWithValue函数的当前逻辑

                MySqlCommand cmd1 = new MySqlCommand
                {
                    CommandText = "Select * from Employee where EmpID = @EmpID"
                };

                cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue($"@EmpID", 1234);

2.通过使用添加功能为字段提供数据类型来更新逻辑

                MySqlCommand cmd1 = new MySqlCommand
                {
                    CommandText = "Select * from Employee where EmpID = @EmpID"
                };

                cmd1.Parameters.Add($"@EmpID", MySqlDbType.VarChar).Value = 1234;

我想在处理请求时知道服务器端的查询表示。 更新后的逻辑（即第 2 点）是否会通过为 varchar 数据类型提供引号来形成查询？

Answer 1

我认为 TiDB 和 MySQL 在这里有相同的行为。如果您正在比较 VARCHAR 列 与一个字符串，它将它作为一个字符串进行比较，它将使用索引。当它与一个 整数，那么它将尝试将每一行的值转换为整数，然后进行比较。然后 它不能使用索引。请注意，您需要在表格中添加几行以获得更真实的 解释计划。另请注意，根据类型，结果可能会有所不同。
