MySQL中能够使用索引的典型场景

MySQL中能够使用索引的典型场景
（1）匹配全值；
（2）匹配值的范围查询，对索引的值能够进行范围查找；
（3）匹配最左前缀，仅仅使用索引中的最左边列进行查找；
（4）仅仅对索引进行查询，查询的列都在索引的字段中时，查询的效率较高；
（5）匹配列前缀，仅仅使用索引中的第一列，并且只包含索引第一列的开头一部分进行查找；
（6）能够实现索引匹配部分精确而其他部分进行范围查询；
（7）如果列名是索引，那么使用column_name is null 就会使用到索引（区别于oracle）

下面以t_user举例说明

create table t_user (id integer not null auto_increment primary key, name varchar(30), salary decimal(7, 2), bonus decimal(7,2), sex tinyint(1));

alter table t_user add index index_name_salary_bonus(name, salary, bonus);

(1)select * from t_user where name = 'zhangsan';
