Mungkin indeks buruk, pemindaian tabel lengkap

Jika saya melakukan apa yang Anda lakukan di atas, saya mendapatkan

EXPLAIN select * from  stats_clicked s 
join visitor v on s.visitor_id=v.id 
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+--------+---------+--------------------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key    | key_len | ref                | rows | Extra       |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+--------+---------+--------------------+------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | v     | ALL  | PRIMARY       | NULL   | NULL    | NULL               |   15 | NULL        |
|  1 | SIMPLE      | s     | ref  | index3,index1 | index3 | 4       | so_gibberish2.v.id |    1 | Using index |
+----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+--------+---------+--------------------+------+-------------+

Namun jika saya memotong maka lakukan pemuatan banyak data berikut (berakhir dengan lebih dari 100 ribu baris):

truncate table visitor;

Ini menghasilkan TIDAK pemindaian tabel:

EXPLAIN select * from  stats_clicked s

Alasannya tercantum di Halaman Manual Bagaimana MySQL Menggunakan Indeks :

Alasan yang tercantum di atas. Dalam contoh pertanyaan Anda, Anda memiliki terlalu sedikit baris untuk membuat penggunaan indeks sepadan. Jadi mesin db memilih cara yang diduga (dan mungkin) lebih cepat untuk tidak menggunakan indeks di meja kecil Anda.
