如无特殊需求，建议使用 TiDB 数据库的最新稳定版本。

EXPLAIN

EXPLAIN 语句仅用于显示查询的执行计划，而不执行查询。EXPLAIN ANALYZE 可执行查询，补充 EXPLAIN 语句。如果 EXPLAIN 的输出与预期结果不匹配，可考虑在查询的每个表上执行 ANALYZE TABLE。

语句 DESC 和 DESCRIBE 是 EXPLAIN 的别名。EXPLAIN <tableName> 的替代用法记录在 SHOW [FULL] COLUMNS FROM 下。

如果未指定 FORMAT，或未指定 FORMAT ="row"，那么 EXPLAIN 语句将以表格格式输出结果。更多信息，可参阅 Understand the Query Execution Plan。

除 MySQL 标准结果格式外，TiDB 还支持 DotGraph。需按照下列所示指定 FORMAT ="dot"：

create table t(a bigint, b bigint);
desc format = "dot" select A.a, B.b from t A join t B on A.a > B.b where A.a < 10;

TiDB > desc format = "dot" select A.a, B.b from t A join t B on A.a > B.b where A.a < 10;desc format = "dot" select A.a, B.b from t A join t B on A.a > B.b where A.a < 10;

如果你的计算机上安装了 dot 程序（在 graphviz 包中），可使用以下方法生成 PNG 文件：

dot xx.dot -T png -O

The xx.dot is the result returned by the above statement.

如果你的计算机上未安装 dot 程序，可将结果复制到 本网站 以获取树形图：

MySQL 兼容性

  • EXPLAIN 的格式和 TiDB 中潜在的执行计划都与 MySQL 有很大不同。
  • TiDB 不像 MySQL 那样支持 EXPLAIN FORMAT = JSON。
  • TiDB 目前不支持插入语句的 EXPLAIN。
