1、基本结论
下面通过一个实验来说明。
2、问题现象
如下结构的一张表，表中约有104w行数据：
CREATE TABLE `test03` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT COMMENT '自增主键',
`dept` tinyint(4) NOT NULL COMMENT '部门id',
`name` varchar(30) COLLATE utf8mb4_bin DEFAULT NULL COMMENT '用户名称',
`create_time` datetime NOT NULL COMMENT '注册时间',
`last_login_time` datetime DEFAULT NULL COMMENT '最后登录时间',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `ct_index` (`create_time`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1048577 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_bin COMMENT='测试表'
type 为 ALL ，而不是 range rows 行数和全表行数接近
# 查询1
mysql> explain select * from test03 where create_time > '2021-10-01 02:04:36';
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+----------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+----------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | test03 | NULL | ALL | ct_index | NULL | NULL | NULL | 1045955 | 50.00 | Using where |
+----+-------------+--------+------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+---------+----------+-------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
而查询2，则用到了 ct_index(create_time) 索引:
# 查询2
mysql> explain select * from test03 where create_time < '2021-01-01 02:04:36';
+----+-------------+--------+------------+-------+---------------+----------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------------+
| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |
+----+-------------+--------+------------+-------+---------------+----------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | test03 | NULL | range | ct_index | ct_index | 5 | NULL | 169 | 100.00 | Using index condition |
+----+-------------+--------+------------+-------+---------------+----------+---------+------+------+----------+-----------------------+
3、获得SQL优化器处理信息
这里使用 optimizer trace 工具，观察 MySQL 对 SQL 的优化处理过程：
# 调大trace的容量，防止被截断
set global optimizer_trace_max_mem_size = 1048576;
# 开启optimizer_trace
set optimizer_trace="enabled=on";
# 执行SQL
select * from test03 where create_time > '2021-10-01 02:04:36';
# SQL执行完成之后，查看TRACE
select TRACE from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE\G
获得关于此 SQL 的详细优化器处理信息：
mysql> select TRACE from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE\G

1 row in set (0.00 sec)
同时指出了未选择索引的原因：cost
因为当 ct_index(create_time) 这个普通索引并不包括查询的所有列，因此需要通过 ct_index 的索引树找到对应的主键 id ，然后再到 id 的索引树进行数据查询，即回表（通过索引查出主键，再去查数据行），这样成本必然上升。尤其是当回表的数据量比较大的时候，经常会出现 MySQL 优化器认为回表查询代价过高而不选择索引的情况。
这里可以回头看查询1和查询2的数据量占比：
查询2的数据量占整个表的0.02%，因此优化器选择了索引
mysql> select (select count(*) from test03 where create_time > '2021-10-01 02:04:36')/(select count(*) from test03) as '>20211001', (select count(*) from test03 where create_time < '2021-01-01 02:04:36')/(select count(*) from test03) as '<20210101';
+-----------+-----------+
| >20211001 | <20210101 |
+-----------+-----------+
| 0.5997 | 0.0002 |
+-----------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.44 sec)
优化器在选择的时候会考虑更多的因素，如：表大小，行数量，IO块大小等
