Oracle中的半联结和反联结详解

作者：Bd专业8楼nv | 来源：互联网 | 2022-08-20 18:45

这篇文章主要介绍了Oracle中的半联结和反联结详解,也称半连接和反连接,其实就是in、exists,需要的朋友可以参考下

当两张表进行联结的时候，如果表1中的数据行是否出现在结果集中需要根据表2中出现或不出现至少一个相匹配的数据行来判断，这种情况就会发生半联结；而反联结便是半联结的补集，它们会作为数据库中常见的联结方法如NESTED LOOPS，MERGE SORT JOIN，HASH JOIN的选项出现。

实际上半联结和反联结本身也可以被认同是两种联结方法；在CBO优化模式下，优化器能够根据实际情况灵活的转换执行语句从而实现半联结和反联结方法，毕竟没有什么SQL语法可以显式的调用半联结和反联结，它们只是SQL语句满足某些条件时优化器可以选择的选项而已，不过仍然有必要深入这两种选项在特定情况下带来的性能优势。

半联结

半联结通常都发生在使用含有IN和EXISTS的相关子查询的时候，=ANY的用法与IN相同，所以也会出现发生半联结的情况；不过也是有例外的，在11gR2版本中，优化器不会为任何包含在OR分支中的子查询选择半联结，这也是现在官档中唯一明确标识的限制条件，来看几种发生场景：

代码如下:

-- 使用IN关键字的相关子查询 => 发生NESTED LOOPS半联结
SQL> select department_name
2 from hr.departments dept
3 where department_id in (select department_id from hr.employees emp);

11 rows selected.

从结果集来看，我们很容易联想到内联结，那为什么半联结通常来说会获得更高的性能呢？这实际也是半联结优化的关键，拿NESTED LOOPS来举例，在NESTED LOOPS联结中，驱动表被读取后需要逐个的进入内层循环来进行匹配工作，并且只有当外层循环的数据行与内层循环中的每一行数据匹配运算完成后才会结束一个结果集的获取；而相对而言，半联结的区别在于数据集1中的每一条记录只返回一次，而不管数据集2中有几条匹配的记录，因此，半联结会在找到子查询中匹配到的第一条数据后立即结束处理从而提高性能。

对于某些需要利用半联结来提高性能的场景，可以通过手动的方式控制半联结的执行计划，使用SEMIJOIN和NO_SEMIJOIN提示分别可以指定优化器使用和禁用半联结。

代码如下:

-- 使用NO_SEMIJOIN提示禁用半联结
SQL> select department_name
2 from hr.departments dept
3 where department_id in (select /*+ no_semijoin */department_id from hr.employees emp);

11 rows selected.

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):

         11 rows processed

除此之外，我们还可以使用_always_semi_join隐藏参数选择半联结的联结类型，有关_always_semi_join参数的可选值：

代码如下:

SQL> SELECT
2           PARNO_KSPVLD_VALUES     pvalid_par#,
3           NAME_KSPVLD_VALUES      pvalid_name,
4           VALUE_KSPVLD_VALUES     pvalid_value,
5           DECODE(ISDEFAULT_KSPVLD_VALUES, 'FALSE', '', 'DEFAULT' ) pvalid_default
6   FROM
7           X$KSPVLD_VALUES
8   WHERE
9           LOWER(NAME_KSPVLD_VALUES) LIKE '%'||LOWER(nvl('&pname',name_kspvld_values))||'%'
10   ORDER BY
11           pvalid_par#,
12           pvalid_default,
13           pvalid_Value
14   /

PAR# PARAMETER                                          VALUE                          DEFAULT
------ -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ -------
1705 _always_semi_join                                  CHOOSE
       _always_semi_join                                  HASH
       _always_semi_join                                  MERGE
       _always_semi_join                                  NESTED_LOOPS
       _always_semi_join                                  OFF

该参数的默认值为choose，表示选用半联结的类型由优化器来决定，下面来使用_always_semi_join参数将上面的NESTED LOOPS半联结改变为HASH JOIN半联结：

代码如下:

-- 默认发生NESTED LOOPS SEMI
SQL> select department_name
2 from hr.departments dept
3 where department_id in (select department_id from hr.employees emp);

11 rows selected.

-- 从trace来看优化器的选择还是非常可靠的。。

反联结

从本质上来说，反联结和半联结很多相似的因素，反联结的发生通常是在使用含有NOT IN，NOT EXISTS的相关子查询的时候，同样，如果子查询谓语OR分支中，反联结也会被禁用，它和半联结主要的不同点还是在返回数据的匹配方式上，它是会返回在子查询中没有匹配到的数据行，不过其优化的原理是一致的，通过在子查询中找到第一条匹配记录而立即停止处理来提高效率，一下是发生的集中场景：

代码如下:

SQL> set autotrace traceonly
-- NOT IN 触发反联结
SQL> select department_name
2 from hr.departments
3 where department_id not in
4 (select department_id from hr.employees where department_id is not null);

16 rows selected.

从上面的例子可以看出minus和outer join操作都可以巧妙的实现同样的结果，不过从执行计划来看，minus操作显然没有反联结操作优化，而使用outer join虽然发生了反联结优化，但是由于使用了带空值的虚拟记录来匹配数据行，不便于理解，因此实际还是不建议使用的。

如果想要手动控制反联结的执行计划，这里也有一些hint和参数可以使用，常用的hint有：

1.ANTIJOIN-进行反联结，优化器决定联结类型
2.USE_ANTI-老版本的提示，和ANTIJOIN功能一致
3.[NL_AJ] | [HASH_AJ] | [MERGE_AJ]-指定发生反联结的类型(10g开始被弃用，不过仍然可以生效)

在参数控制方面，也有个和_always_semi_join非常相同的_always_anti_join参数，用法完全一致；还有参数_optimizer_null_aware_antijoin，_optimizer_outer_to_anti_enable用于控制对含空值和外联结的反联结转换。

代码如下:

-- 使用hint显式指定反联结类型
SQL> select department_name
2 from hr.departments dept
3 where not exists (select /*+ hash_aj */ null from hr.employees emp
4 where emp.department_id = dept.department_id);
