EXPLAIN Cheatsheet

By: Sheeri Cabral

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.pdf

* 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 :)

  7. [...] Bueno esto puede llevar mas investigación y trabajo, pero la clave es hacer que use índices (cuando pone index). Y que evite cosas pesadas como filesort. Les dejó un cheatsheet de EXPLAIN de la gente de Pythian. [...]
