MYSQL INNODB主键使用varchar和int有什么区别？
本文和大家分享的主要是MYSQL 数据库主键使用varchar和int的区别，一起来看看吧，希望对大家学习mysql有所帮助。
我现在总结的3个问题：
1、tablespace中空间浪费
当然我们知道使用varchar可能会导致辅助索引比较大，因为用到varchar可能存储的字符较多，同时
在行头也存在一个可变字段字符区域(1-2)字节
而辅助索引叶子结点毕竟都存储了主键值，这样至少会多varchar数据字节数量+1(或者2) 字节- 4(int)字节空间。
如果辅助索引比较多空间浪费是可想而知的。
2、辅助索引B+树扫描性能
由于辅助索引B+树的空间要求更大，虽然在B+树层次一般都是3层-4层，索引单值定位I/O消耗并不明显，如果涉及到
范围查询(比如PAGE_CUR_G),需要访问的块就更多，同时比如例如辅助索引的using index，需要访问的块自然
更多
3、比较更加复杂
innodb 在进行元组比较的时候，不管是DML，select都会涉及到元组的比较，同时回表的时候也涉及
到比较操作。而varchar类型的比较比int类型更为复杂一些。
那么我们就来分析第三个问题，第一个问题和第二个问题是显而易见的。
我这里数据库字符集为latin1\\latin1_swedish_ci
其实在innodb底层进行比较的时候都调用cmp_data这个函数
在innodb中有自己的定义的数据类型如下：
/*-------------------------------------------*/
/* The ’MAIN TYPE’ of a column */
#define DATA_MISSING 0 /* missing column */
#define DATA_VARCHAR 1 /* character varying of the
latin1_swedish_ci charset-collation; note
that the MySQL format for this, DATA_BINARY,
DATA_VARMYSQL, is also affected by whether the
’precise type’ contains
DATA_MYSQL_TRUE_VARCHAR */
#define DATA_CHAR 2 /* fixed length character of the
latin1_swedish_ci charset-collation */
#define DATA_FIXBINARY 3 /* binary string of fixed length */
#define DATA_BINARY 4 /* binary string */
#define DATA_BLOB 5 /* binary large object, or a TEXT type;
if prtype & DATA_BINARY_TYPE == 0, then this is
actually a TEXT column (or a BLOB created
with < 4.0.14; since column prefix indexes
came only in 4.0.14, the missing flag in BLOBs
created before that does not cause any harm) */
#define DATA_INT 6 /* integer: can be any size 1 - 8 bytes */
#define DATA_SYS_CHILD 7 /* address of the child page in node pointer */
#define DATA_SYS 8 /* system column */
我们熟悉的int类型属于DATA_INT而varchar属于DATA_VARCHAR，rowid属于DATA_SYS
在函数cmp_data根据各种类型的不同进行了不同比较的方式，这里就将int和varchar
判断的方式进行说明：
1、innodb int类型比较
实际上是在cmp_data中进行了大概的方式如下
if (len) {
#if defined __i386__ || defined __x86_64__ || defined _M_IX86 || defined _M_X64
/* Compare the first bytes with a loop to avoid the call
overhead of memcmp(). On x86 and x86-64, the GCC built-in
(repz cmpsb) seems to be very slow, so we will be calling the
libc version. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43052
tracks the slowness of the GCC built-in memcmp().
We compare up to the first 4..7 bytes with the loop.
The (len & 3) is used for "normalizing" or
"quantizing" the len parameter for the memcmp() call,
in case the whole prefix is equal. On x86 and x86-64,
the GNU libc memcmp() of equal strings is faster with
len=4 than with len=3.
On other architectures than the IA32 or AMD64, there could
be a built-in memcmp() that is faster than the loop.
We only use the loop where we know that it can improve
the performance. */
for (ulint i = 4 + (len & 3); i > 0; i--) {
cmp = int(*data1++) - int(*data2++);
if (cmp) {
return(cmp);
}
if (!--len) {
break;
}
}
my_strnncollsp_simple
if (len) {
#endif /* IA32 or AMD64 */
cmp = memcmp(data1, data2, len);
if (cmp) {
return(cmp);
}
data1 += len;
data2 += len;
#if defined __i386__ || defined __x86_64__ || defined _M_IX86 || defined _M_X64
}
#endif /* IA32 or AMD64 */
}
cmp = (int) (len1 - len2);
if (!cmp || pad == ULINT_UNDEFINED) {
return(cmp);
}
可以看到整个方式比较简洁，对于我们常用的x86_64模型并没有直接使用memcpy进行而是
进行了优化在注释中也有说明，才出现了for (ulint i = 4 + (len & 3); i > 0; i--)
部分，如果是IA32 or AMD64则直接使用memcpy进行比较。感兴趣的可以仔细阅读一下
2、innodb varchar类型比较
实际上这个比较会通过cmp_data->cmp_whole_field->my_strnncollsp_simple调用最终调用
my_strnncollsp_simple完成，而比如order by 会调用my_strnxfrm_simple他们都在一个
文件中。
下面是整个my_strnncollsp_simple函数
/*
Compare strings, discarding end space
SYNOPSIS
my_strnncollsp_simple()
cs character set handler
a First string to compare
a_length Length of ’a’
b Second string to compare
b_length Length of ’b’
diff_if_only_endspace_difference
Set to 1 if the strings should be regarded as different
if they only difference in end space
IMPLEMENTATION
If one string is shorter as the other, then we space extend the other
so that the strings have equal length.
This will ensure that the following things hold:
"a" == "a "
"a\\0" < "a"
"a\\0" < "a "
RETURN
< 0 a < b
= 0 a == b
> 0 a > b
*/
int my_strnncollsp_simple(const CHARSET_INFO *cs, const uchar *a,
size_t a_length, const uchar *b, size_t b_length,
my_bool diff_if_only_endspace_difference)
{
const uchar *map= cs->sort_order, *end;
size_t length;
int res;
#ifndef VARCHAR_WITH_DIFF_ENDSPACE_ARE_DIFFERENT_FOR_UNIQUE
diff_if_only_endspace_difference= 0;
#endif
end= a + (length= MY_MIN(a_length, b_length));
while (a < end)
{
if (map[*a++] != map[*b++])
return ((int) map[a[-1]] - (int) map[b[-1]]);
}
res= 0;
if (a_length != b_length)
{
int swap= 1;
if (diff_if_only_endspace_difference)
res= 1; /* Assume ’a’ is bigger */
/*
Check the next not space character of the longer key. If it’s < ’ ’,
then it’s smaller than the other key.
*/
if (a_length < b_length)
{
/* put shorter key in s */
a_length= b_length;
a= b;
swap= -1; /* swap sign of result */
res= -res;
}
for (end= a + a_length-length; a < end ; a++)
{
if (map[*a] != map[’ ’])
return (map[*a] < map[’ ’]) ? -swap : swap;
}
}
return res;
}
其中*map= cs->sort_order比较关键这是内存中已经存储好的字符集的顺序，
循环进行
map[*a++] != map[*b++]
*a++和*b++ 会得到的字符集编码，然后在整个排序好的字符数组中找，
则得到了实际字符集编码进行比较，不管是比较的复杂度还是需要比较的
长度 varchar很可能都远远大于int类型，下面是打印cs->sort_order这片
内存区域前128字节得到的结果，

而从内存的地址0x258b000我们也能看到他确实是存在于堆内存空间中，它是一片堆内存区域。
