Fixes

Note

Alibaba Cloud reminds you that:

  • Before you perform operations that may cause risks, such as modifying instance configurations or data, we recommend that you check the disaster recovery and fault tolerance capabilities of the instances to ensure data security.
  • You can modify the configurations and data of instances including but not limited to Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Relational Database Service (RDS) instances. Before the modification, we recommend that you create snapshots or enable RDS log backup.
  • If you have authorized or submitted security information such as the logon account and password in the Alibaba Cloud Management console, we recommend that you modify such information in a timely manner.

You can solve the problem by adding an index. The SQL statement for optimization is as follows:

create table mlgtestdecimal(`campaign_id` decimal(24, 0) NOT NULL, name VARCHAR(50));

insert into mlgtestdecimal(campaign_id, name)
VALUES('XXXXXXX','XXXXXX');

insert into mlgtestdecimal(campaign_id, name)
VALUES('XXXXXXX','XXXXXX');

SELECT *
from mlgtestdecimal
where campaign_id='XXXXXXX'
  and name='XXXXXX'
  alter table mlgtestdecimal add index ind_decimal (`campaign_id`);
