使用use index优化sql查询

在最初的查询语句中只要把order by begintime去掉，mysql就会使用`dg`索引了，再次印证了order by会影响mysql的索引选择策略！
mysql> explain SELECT round  FROM arena_match_index  WHERE `day` = '2010-12-31' AND `group` = 18 AND `begintime` < '2010-12-31 12:14:28'  LIMIT 1;
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table             | type | possible_keys | key  | key_len | ref         | rows | Extra       |
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | arena_match_index | ref  | begintime,dg  | dg   | 7       | const,const |  717 | Using where |
+----+-------------+-------------------+------+---------------+------+---------+-------------+------+-------------+

通过上面的例子说mysql有时候也并不聪明，并非总能做出最优选择，还是需要我们开发者对它进行“调教”！
