當MySQL中字段為int類型時，搜索條件where num=‘111‘ 與where num=111都可以使用該字段的索引。
當MySQL中字段為varchar類型時，搜索條件where num=‘111‘ 可以使用索引，where num=111 不可以使用索引

驗證過程：

建表語句：

CREATE TABLE `gyl` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `str` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `num` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0‘,
  `obj` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `str_x` (`str`),
  KEY `num_x` (`num`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

　　向表中使用自復制語句插入數據

insert into gyl (`str`,`num`)values(123123,‘12313‘);

insert into gyl (`str`,`num`) select `str`,`num` from gyl;

更改數據 update gyl set num=id,str=id

結果：

mysql> explain 
select * from gyl where str=123123 limit 1;

MySQL索引使用：字段為varchar類型時，條件要使用''包起來
