mysql 随机查询 效率比较

select
    primary_count as primaryCount,  
    primary_score as primaryScore,  
    junior_count as juniorCount,    
    junior_score as juniorScore,    
    senior_count as seniorCount,    
    senoir_score as senoirScore,    
    total_score as totalScore,  
    pass_score as passScore 
from pd_paper p
where p.is_valid = ‘1‘
order by RAND() limit 1
 
分析：
ORDER BY从句里面不能使用RAND()函数，因为这样会导致数据列被多次扫描。
测试发现这样效率非常低。一个15万余条的库，查询5条数据，要8秒以上。
 
You cannot use a column with RAND() values in an ORDER BY clause, because ORDER BY 
would evaluate the column multiple times.
 
更高效的做法：查询max(id) * rand()来随机获取数据。
 
 
SELECT * 
FROM `table` AS t1 
JOIN (
    SELECT ROUND(RAND() 
    * (SELECT MAX(id) FROM `table`)) AS id
) AS t2 
WHERE t1.id >= t2.id 
ORDER BY t1.id ASC LIMIT 5;
 
但是这样会产生连续的5条记录。解决办法只能是每次查询一条，查询5次。
即便如此也值得，因为15万条的表，查询只需要0.01秒不到。
采用join 语法  可以实现真正的随机。
 
SELECT * 
FROM `table` 
WHERE id >= (SELECT FLOOR( MAX(id) * RAND()) FROM `table` ) 
ORDER BY id LIMIT 1;
 
把语句完善一下，加上MIN(id)的判断。
如果没有加上MIN(id)的判断，结果有一半的时间总是查询到表中的前面几行。
完整的语句：
 
①  where 子句
 
SELECT * FROM `table` 
WHERE id >= (SELECT floor( RAND() * ((SELECT MAX(id) FROM `table`)-
 (SELECT MIN(id) FROM `table`)) + (SELECT MIN(id) FROM `table`)))  
ORDER BY id LIMIT 1;
 
② join
 
SELECT * 
FROM `table` AS t1 
JOIN (
    SELECT ROUND(RAND() 
    * ((SELECT MAX(id) FROM `table`)-(SELECT MIN(id) FROM `table`))
    +(SELECT MIN(id) FROM `table`)) AS id) AS t2 
WHERE t1.id >= t2.id 
ORDER BY t1.id LIMIT 1;
 
#随机查询一套考卷定义
SELECT
    p.primary_count as primaryCount,    
    p.primary_score as primaryScore,    
    p.junior_count as juniorCount,  
    p.junior_score as juniorScore,  
    p.senior_count as seniorCount,  
    p.senoir_score as senoirScore,  
    p.total_score   as totalScore,  
    p.pass_score as passScore   
 
FROM 
    pd_paper AS p
JOIN 
(
    SELECT ROUND(
        RAND() 
        *((SELECT MAX(id) FROM pd_paper)-(SELECT MIN(id) FROM pd_paper))
        +(SELECT MIN(id) FROM pd_paper)
    ) AS id
) 
    AS p2 
WHERE p.id >= p2.id 
ORDER BY p.id LIMIT 1;
 
 
最后在程序对这两个语句进行分别查询10次，
前者花费时间 0.147433 秒
后者花费时间 0.015130 秒
看来采用JOIN的语法比直接在WHERE中使用函数效率还要高很多。
 


附加一个复杂sql：按题目类型（三种）随机查询全部考题信息

 
SELECT * from (
    select
        p.id as id,
        p.title as title,

        p.crt_time as crtTime

    join
        (SELECT ROUND(RAND() 
            * ((SELECT MAX(pp.id) FROM pd_problem pp)-(SELECT MIN(pp.id) FROM pd_problem pp))
            +(SELECT MIN(pp.id) FROM pd_problem pp)) AS pid) AS p2 
    where p.id >= p2.pid
    and p.is_valid = ‘1‘
    and p.paper_type = ‘1‘
    and p.paper_class = ‘0‘
    order by p.id limit 5
 ) as t1
 union all 
 SELECT * from (
