At the 2008 MySQL Conference and Expo, The Pythian Group gave away EXPLAIN cheatsheets. They were very nice, printed in full color and laminated to ensure you can spill your coffee* on it and it will survive.

For those not at the conference, or those that want to make more, the file is downloadable as a 136Kb PDF at explain-diagram

* or tea, for those of us in the civilized world.

    Thanks for the cheatsheet. I appreciate it. I will have it at my desk to spill coffee on. Guess that means I am not civilized :)

    Thanks so much! It’s a shame this information isn’t readily available in the MySQL online documentation.

    I found your cheat sheet on scribd but, since they don’t allow downloading without creating an account, I had to search for your original document to get here.
