一个
explain SELECT * FROM t123 WHERE x=false;

B
explain SELECT * FROM t123 WHERE NOT `x`;
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+--------------------------+

所以A 更快,因为它能够使用本机数据类型(如在具有它的索引中所见),并且由于B 处理数据转换的方式而不会强制进行表扫描(并且确实会导致表扫描)
它的证明在explain 输出中,确定答案所需的rows 的数量,并且即使在两者的列上都没有使用索引(ref 列)查询。
