For unique hash keys or for IDKU INDEX_STATISTICS counts INSERTs

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      For unique hash keys (but not long ones), INDEX_STATISTICS is updated when the table is INSERT-ed into, instead of SELECTs for which the keys are rarely, if ever, used. It can give a user a wrong idea about efficiency of indexes.

      SET @userstat.save= @@userstat;
      set global userstat= 1;
      create table t (a int, unique(a) using hash) engine=MyISAM;
      flush index_statistics;
      insert into t select seq from seq_1_to_100;
      select * from information_schema.index_statistics where table_name = 't';
      insert into t select seq from seq_101_to_200;
      select * from information_schema.index_statistics where table_name = 't';
      explain select a from t where a = 10;
      select a from t where a = 10;
      select * from information_schema.index_statistics where table_name = 't';
       
      # Cleanup
      drop table t;
      set global userstat= @userstat.save;
