我有一张这样的表
Subscribers
Id (PK, int)
OwnedBy (FK, int)
EmailAddress (varchar 50)
如果我这样查询:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(EmailAddress))
FROM Subscribers
WHERE Subscribers.OwnedBy = 67;
OwnedBy
列上有一个索引。假设表非常大,我还应该索引EmailAddress
吗?我并不担心写性能下降。

您应该创建覆盖索引以使其更快。
ALTER TABLE Subscribers ADD KET ix1(OwnedBy, EmailAddress);
将状态检查为使用索引与此查询的位置:
EXPLAIN SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(EmailAddress))
FROM Subscribers
WHERE Subscribers.OwnedBy = 67;

是的,你应该。
因为您的查询可以像这样重写:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Subscribers
WHERE Subscribers.OwnedBy = 67
GROUP BY EmailAddress
您应该查看MySQL GROUP BY
性能优化页面:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/group-by-optimization.html
在那里,陈述如下:
The most efficient way to process GROUP BY is when an index is used to
directly retrieve the grouping columns
因此,如果您不关心表的插入/更新性能和大小,那么您应该使用EmailAddress
上的索引
