ALTER INDEX
TiDB 数据库中 ALTER INDEX 的使用概况。
/docs-cn/dev/sql-statements/sql-statement-alter-index/

ALTER INDEX

ALTER INDEX 语句用于修改索引的可见性,可以将索引设置为 Visible 或者 Invisible。设置为 Invisible 的索引即不可见索引 (Invisible Index) 由 DML 语句维护,不会被查询优化器使用。

语法图

AlterTableStmt
         ::= 'ALTER' 'IGNORE'? 'TABLE' TableName AlterIndexSpec ( ',' AlterIndexSpec )*

AlterIndexSpec
         ::= 'ALTER' 'INDEX' Identifier ( 'VISIBLE' | 'INVISIBLE' )

示例

可以通过 ALTER TABLE ... ALTER INDEX ... 语句,修改索引的可见性:

{{< copyable "sql" >}}

CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 INT, UNIQUE(c1));
ALTER TABLE t1 ALTER INDEX c1 INVISIBLE;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

{{< copyable "sql" >}}

SHOW CREATE TABLE t1;
+-------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Create Table
                                    |
+-------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| t1    | CREATE TABLE `t1` (
  `c1` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY `c1` (`c1`) /*!80000 INVISIBLE */
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_bin |
+-------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

优化器将无法使用 c1 这个不可见的索引

{{< copyable "sql" >}}

EXPLAIN SELECT c1 FROM t1 ORDER BY c1;
+-------------------------+----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| id                      | estRows  | task      | access object | operator info                  |
+-------------------------+----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| Sort_4                  | 10000.00 | root      |               | test.t1.c1:asc                 |
| └─TableReader_8         | 10000.00 | root      |               | data:TableFullScan_7           |
|   └─TableFullScan_7     | 10000.00 | cop[tikv] | table:t1      | keep order:false, stats:pseudo |
+-------------------------+----------+-----------+---------------+--------------------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

作为对比,c2 是可见的索引,优化器将可以使用索引:

{{< copyable "sql" >}}

EXPLAIN SELECT c2 FROM t1 ORDER BY c2;
+------------------------+----------+-----------+------------------------+-------------------------------+
| id                     | estRows  | task      | access object          | operator info                 |
+------------------------+----------+-----------+------------------------+-------------------------------+
| IndexReader_13         | 10000.00 | root      |                        | index:IndexFullScan_12        |
| └─IndexFullScan_12     | 10000.00 | cop[tikv] | table:t1, index:c2(c2) | keep order:true, stats:pseudo |
+------------------------+----------+-----------+------------------------+-------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

即使用 SQL Hint USE INDEX 强制使用索引,优化器也无法使用不可见索引,否则 SQL 语句会报错:

{{< copyable "sql" >}}

SELECT * FROM t1 USE INDEX(c1);
ERROR 1176 (42000): Key 'c1' doesn't exist in table 't1'

注意:

“不可见”是仅仅对优化器而言的,不可见索引仍然可以被修改或删除。

{{< copyable "sql" >}}

ALTER TABLE t1 DROP INDEX c1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

MySQL 兼容性

  • TiDB 中的不可见索引是基于 MySQL 8.0 中的同等特性构建的。
  • 与 MySQL 类似,TiDB 不允许将主键索引设为不可见。
  • MySQL 中提供的优化器开关 use_invisible_indexes=on 可将所有的不可见索引重新设为可见。该功能在 TiDB 中不可用。
