前言
相信大家都知道，索引是有序的；不过，在MySQL之前版本中，只支持升序索引，不支持降序索引，这会带来一些问题；在最新的MySQL 8.0版本中，终于引入了降序索引，接下来我们就来看一看。
降序索引
单列索引
（1）查看测试表结构
|
1
2
3
4
5

|
mysql> show create table sbtest1\G*************************** 1. row *************************** Table: sbtest1Create Table: CREATE TABLE `sbtest1` ( `id` int unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `k` int unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `c` char(120) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `pad` char(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `k_1` (`k`)) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1000001 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci MAX_ROWS=10000001 row in set (0.00 sec) |
（2）执行SQL语句order by ... limit n，默认是升序，可以使用到索引
|

|
mysql> explain select * from sbtest1 order by k limit 10;+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------+| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------+| 1 | SIMPLE | sbtest1 | NULL | index | NULL | k_1 | 4 | NULL | 10 | 100.00 | NULL |+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------+1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) |
（3）执行SQL语句order by ... desc limit n，如果是降序的话，无法使用索引，虽然可以相反顺序扫描，但性能会受到影响

|
mysql> explain select * from sbtest1 order by k desc limit 10;+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+---------------------+| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+---------------------+| 1 | SIMPLE | sbtest1 | NULL | index | NULL | k_1 | 4 | NULL | 10 | 100.00 | Backward index scan |+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+---------------------+1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) |
（4）创建降序索引
|
1
2
3
|
mysql> alter table sbtest1 add index k_2(k desc);Query OK, 0 rows affected (6.45 sec)Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 |
（5）再次执行SQL语句order by ... desc limit n，可以使用到降序索引
|

|
mysql> explain select * from sbtest1 order by k desc limit 10;+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------+| id | select_type | table | partitions | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | filtered | Extra |+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------+| 1 | SIMPLE | sbtest1 | NULL | index | NULL | k_2 | 4 | NULL | 10 | 100.00 | NULL |+----+-------------+---------+------------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+----------+-------+1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) |
多列索引
（1）查看测试表结构
|
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
|
mysql> show create table sbtest1\G*************************** 1. row *************************** Table: sbtest1Create Table: CREATE TABLE `sbtest1` ( `id` int unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `k` int unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `c` char(120) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `pad` char(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `k_1` (`k`), KEY `idx_c_pad_1` (`c`,`pad`)) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1000001 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci MAX_ROWS=10000001 row in set (0.00 sec) |
（2）对于多列索引来说，如果没有降序索引的话，那么只有SQL 1才能用到索引，SQL 4能用相反顺序扫描，其他两条SQL语句只能走全表扫描，效率非常低
SQL 1：select * from sbtest1 order by c,pad limit 10;
SQL 2：select * from sbtest1 order by c,pad desc limit 10;
SQL 3：select * from sbtest1 order by c desc,pad limit 10;
SQL 4：explain select * from sbtest1 order by c desc,pad desc limit 10;

（3）创建相应的降序索引

mysql> alter table sbtest1 add index idx_c_pad_2(c,pad desc);Query OK, 0 rows affected (1 min 11.27 sec)Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0mysql> alter table sbtest1 add index idx_c_pad_3(c desc,pad);Query OK, 0 rows affected (1 min 14.22 sec)Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0mysql> alter table sbtest1 add index idx_c_pad_4(c desc,pad desc);Query OK, 0 rows affected (1 min 8.70 sec)Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 |
（4）再次执行SQL，均能使用到降序索引，效率大大提升

总结
