IN和INNER JOIN在我的情况下有什么区别？

Question

在我的MySQL数据库中，表事件具有一个组合索引，其中包含列closingeventid，timeStart和eventCode。表事件中有超过2100万行。

这是两个SQL，如果我在MySQL命令行中运行第一个SQL，进程mysqld-nt.exe的Mem Usage以每秒10 M的速度逐渐增加，它会上升到1.6 G左右，然后直线下降到30 M左右然后命令行返回Out of Memory异常。

但是，如果我使用第二个SQL，使用INNER JOIN而不是IN，那就没关系。看来IN子句不会触及任何索引。

为什么？任何想法来监视MySQL执行过程像MS SQL的执行计划？

SELECT COUNT(*) AS 'cnt' 
FROM events 
WHERE 
    (timeStart < '2010-09-22 14:29:10’) 
AND (closingeventid IS NULL) 
AND (eventcode IN (SELECT DISTINCT evtcclosed FROM eventclose))` 

VS

SELECT COUNT(1) AS 'cnt' 
FROM events 
inner join 
      (SELECT DISTINCT evtcclosed FROM eventclose) ec 
    ON ec.evtcclosed = events.eventcode 
WHERE (timeStart < '2010-09-22 14:29:10’) AND (closingeventid IS NULL) 

Answer 1

MySQL优化可优化IN (subquery)条款非常糟糕。它为外部查询的每一行执行嵌套查询。

要得到执行计划 - 只是你的查询之前加EXPLAIN关键字权

EXPLAIN SELECT ... 

Answer 2

感谢zerkms！

我试着EXPLAIN在两个SQL上，但似乎他们都击中了正确的索引idxEventClosed（closingeventid，timeStart，eventCode）。解释看起来与下面的粗线相同。我仍然不清楚导致内存不足问题的原因。

mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT COUNT(*) AS 'cnt' FROM events WHERE (timeStart < '2010-10-29 14:29:10') AND (closingeventid IS NULL) AND (eventcode IN (SELECT D 
ISTINCT evtcclosed FROM eventclose));

mysql> EXPLAIN SELECT COUNT(1) AS 'cnt' FROM events inner join (SELECT DISTINCT evtcclosed FROM eventclose) ec on ec.evtcclosed = events.eventcode whe 
re (events.closingeventid is null) and (timeStart < '2010-10-28 14:29:10');
