我正在修改一个旧的MySQL数据库，该数据库的结果是针对它存储的数据进行了不正确的设计。我根本不熟悉SQL，因此我使用SHOW CREATE TABLE来获取用于旧表（'interaction_old'）的CREATE语句并几乎完全复制它，只有一些列名称和数据类型，以创建一个新表（'interaction_new'）。现在一些使用旧表中的索引的查询不再使用新表中的索引，我无法弄清楚原因。
以下是两个表的索引：
mysql> SHOW KEYS FROM interaction_old;
+-----------------+------------+---------------+--------------+---------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment |
+-----------------+------------+---------------+--------------+---------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| interaction_old | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | interactionid | A | 138996006 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| interaction_old | 1 | Complex_pdbid | 1 | Complex_pdbid | A | 1338 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| interaction_old | 1 | Protein_id | 1 | Protein_id | A | 13737 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| interaction_old | 1 | RNA_id | 1 | RNA_id | A | 2806 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
+-----------------+------------+---------------+--------------+---------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
mysql> SHOW KEYS FROM interaction_new;
+-----------------+------------+------------+--------------+---------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment |
+-----------------+------------+------------+--------------+---------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
| interaction_new | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | interactionid | A | 152311144 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| interaction_new | 1 | pdbid | 1 | pdbid | A | 2924 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| interaction_new | 1 | pchainname | 1 | pchainname | A | 472 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
| interaction_new | 1 | rchainname | 1 | rchainname | A | 487 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | |
+-----------------+------------+------------+--------------+---------------+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+---------+
示例查询在两者之间表现不同：
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT DISTINCT Complex_pdbid FROM interaction_old;
+----+-------------+-----------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-----------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | interaction_old | range | NULL | Complex_pdbid | 6 | NULL | 1339 | Using index for group-by |
+----+-------------+-----------------+-------+---------------+---------------+---------+------+------+--------------------------+
mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT DISTINCT pdbid FROM interaction_new;
+----+-------------+-----------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-----------+-----------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-----------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-----------+-----------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | interaction_new | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 152311144 | Using temporary |
+----+-------------+-----------------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+-----------+-----------------+
正如您所料，interactive_old上的查询在几分之一秒内完成，而我在interactive_new上的查询运行约20分钟后再将其杀死。 interaction_old.Complex_pdbid和interaction_new.pdbid是相同的数据类型（并且存储几乎完全相同的数据）。 USE INDEX和/或FORCE INDEX似乎没有任何影响。是什么导致了不同的行为？
编辑：根据文档，第一个表使用loose index scan来提高速度 - 该页面没有任何内容让我清楚为什么这在第二个表上不起作用。
