sql 优化问题，between比in好？

Question

看到网上的资料说：

in 和 not in 也要慎用，否则会导致全表扫描，如：

select id from t where num in(1,2,3)

对于连续的数值，能用 between 就不要用 in 了：

select id from t where num between 1 and 3

Answer 1

连续数值当然between好了 减少解析 并且in的范围默认超过一定数目就会走全表 9个还是多少忘了

针对楼下评论再补充一下答案：
in走全表是分情况的，上面的解答只是凭记忆大概说了一下，楼下小伙伴比较认真，这里就再解释一下，这个不是个数而应该是个比例，大概25%-35%左右，你要再问到底多少不好意思水平有限不读源码没办法确认。然后这个30左右的比例也并不是说一定走全表扫描，因为mysql还有一个索引扫描，就是说如果select的内容在你的索引里面就能找到的话当然不会去扫全表了，比如下面的例子中select id from ttt where id in (..);和select * from ttt where id in (...);前面这个肯定是走主键扫描，即使你in了所有id值他也是走主键，而后面的情况就是这种百分比的情况了，具体看下面示例，欢迎指正^_^
额，然后还想说一下between的情况，为什么好是因为除了索引段上连续存取减少解析以外，还有一个情况就是在磁盘寻址检索数据的时候，会默认读取第一次取值附近的部分数据（有这么一个概率算法说的是当一个数据被检索到的时候，他附近的数据也很大概率会被用到）所以就有了这么一个一次性取出冗余数据避免多次寻址的情况，这时候使用between的连续取值就正适用了

Answer 2

根据数据库中B树索引的存储结构，在叶节点存储指向数据的物理地址，而这个物理地址当存在聚簇索引时是有序的。

如果是连续数值，between在找到第一个匹配值后，则直接从该地址往后搜索，直到最后一个元素为止。这样就不会对后续值进行索引扫描，因此速度快了。

对于in操作，不大清楚，但是估计应该会对全索引进行扫描吧。

Answer 3

EXPLAIN mysql 语句 看下输出

Answer 4

使用between时只需要匹配上下界，故而会快一点；in每个都要看一遍，会造成全表扫描。
