mysql:count(1)与count(*)效率高低

1. count(1) and count(*) 当表的数据量大些时，对表作分析之后，使用count(1)还要比使用count(*)用时多了！从执行计划来看，count(1)和count(*)的效果是一样的。但是在表做过分析之后，count(1)会比count(*)的用时少些（1w以内数据量），不过差不了多少。如果count(1)是聚索引,id,那肯定是count(1)快。但是差的很小的。因为count(*),自动会优化指定到那一个字段。所以没必要去count(1)，用count(*)，sql会帮你完成优化的因此：count(1)和count(*)基本没有差别！

2. count(1) and count(字段) 两者的主要区别是（1） count(1) 会统计表中的所有的记录数，包含字段为null 的记录。（2） count(字段) 会统计该字段在表中出现的次数，忽略字段为null 的情况。即不统计字段为null 的记录。 3.count(*) 和 count(1)和count(列名)区别 执行效果上： count(*)包括了所有的列，相当于行数，在统计结果的时候，不会忽略列值为NULL count(1)包括了忽略所有列，用1代表代码行，在统计结果的时候，不会忽略列值为NULL count(列名)只包括列名那一列，在统计结果的时候，会忽略列值为空（这里的空不是只空字符串或者0，而是表示null）的计数，即某个字段值为NULL时，不统计。 执行效率上： 列名为主键，count(列名)会比count(1)快列名不为主键，count(1)会比count(列名)快如果表多个列并且没有主键，则 count（1）的执行效率优于 count（*）如果有主键，则 select count（主键）的执行效率是最优的如果表只有一个字段，则 select count（*）最优。 4.实例分析
