MySQL InnoDB事务的隔离级别有四级,默认是“可重复读”(REPEATABLE READ)。
- 未提交读(READ UNCOMMITTED)。另一个事务修改了数据,但尚未提交,而本事务中的SELECT会读到这些未被提交的数据(脏读)。
- 提交读(READ COMMITTED)。本事务读取到的是最新的数据(其他事务提交后的)。问题是,在同一个事务里,前后两次相同的SELECT会读到不同的结果(不重复读)。
- 可重复读(REPEATABLE READ)。在同一个事务里,SELECT的结果是事务开始时时间点的状态,因此,同样的SELECT操作读到的结果会是一致的。但是,会有幻读现象(稍后解释)。
- 串行化(SERIALIZABLE)。读操作会隐式获取共享锁,可以保证不同事务间的互斥。
四个级别逐渐增强,每个级别解决一个问题。
- 脏读,最容易理解。另一个事务修改了数据,但尚未提交,而本事务中的SELECT会读到这些未被提交的数据。
- 不重复读。解决了脏读后,会遇到,同一个事务执行过程中,另外一个事务提交了新数据,因此本事务先后两次读到的数据结果会不一致。
- 幻读。解决了不重复读,保证了同一个事务里,查询的结果都是事务开始时的状态(一致性)。但是,如果另一个事务同时提交了新数据,本事务再更新时,就会“惊奇的”发现了这些新数据,貌似之前读到的数据是“鬼影”一样的幻觉。
借鉴并改造了一个搞笑的比喻:
- 脏读。假如,中午去食堂打饭吃,看到一个座位被同学小Q占上了,就认为这个座位被占去了,就转身去找其他的座位。不料,这个同学小Q起身走了。事实:该同学小Q只是临时坐了一小下,并未“提交”。
- 不重复读。假如,中午去食堂打饭吃,看到一个座位是空的,便屁颠屁颠的去打饭,回来后却发现这个座位却被同学小Q占去了。
- 幻读。假如,中午去食堂打饭吃,看到一个座位是空的,便屁颠屁颠的去打饭,回来后,发现这些座位都还是空的(重复读),窃喜。走到跟前刚准备坐下时,却惊现一个恐龙妹,严重影响食欲。仿佛之前看到的空座位是“幻影”一样。

一些文章写到InnoDB的可重复读避免了“幻读”(phantom read),这个说法并不准确。
做个试验:(以下所有试验要注意存储引擎和隔离级别)
mysql> show create table t_bitflyG;
CREATE TABLE `t_bitfly` (
`id` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
`value` varchar(32) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=gbkmysql> select @@global.tx_isolation, @@tx_isolation;
+-----------------------+-----------------+
| @@global.tx_isolation | @@tx_isolation |
+-----------------------+-----------------+
| REPEATABLE-READ | REPEATABLE-READ |
+-----------------------+-----------------+
试验一:
t Session A Session B
|
| START TRANSACTION; START TRANSACTION;
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| empty set
| INSERT INTO t_bitfly
| VALUES (1, 'a');
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| empty set
| COMMIT;
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| empty set
|
| INSERT INTO t_bitfly VALUES (1, 'a');
| ERROR 1062 (23000):
| Duplicate entry '1' for key 1
v (shit, 刚刚明明告诉我没有这条记录的)
如此就出现了幻读,以为表里没有数据,其实数据已经存在了,傻乎乎的提交后,才发现数据冲突了。
试验二:
t Session A Session B
|
| START TRANSACTION; START TRANSACTION;
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +------+-------+
| | id | value |
| +------+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +------+-------+
| INSERT INTO t_bitfly
| VALUES (2, 'b');
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +------+-------+
| | id | value |
| +------+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +------+-------+
| COMMIT;
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +------+-------+
| | id | value |
| +------+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +------+-------+
|
| UPDATE t_bitfly SET value='z';
| Rows matched: 2 Changed: 2 Warnings: 0
| (怎么多出来一行)
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +------+-------+
| | id | value |
| +------+-------+
| | 1 | z |
| | 2 | z |
| +------+-------+
|
v
本事务中第一次读取出一行,做了一次更新后,另一个事务里提交的数据就出现了。也可以看做是一种幻读。

那么,InnoDB指出的可以避免幻读是怎么回事呢?
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-record-level-locks.html
By default, InnoDB operates in REPEATABLE READ transaction isolation level and with the innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog system variable disabled. In this case, InnoDB uses next-key locks for searches and index scans, which prevents phantom rows (see Section 13.6.8.5, “Avoiding the Phantom Problem Using Next-Key Locking”).
准备的理解是,当隔离级别是可重复读,且禁用innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog的情况下,在搜索和扫描index的时候使用的next-key locks可以避免幻读。
关键点在于,是InnoDB默认对一个普通的查询也会加next-key locks,还是说需要应用自己来加锁呢?如果单看这一句,可能会以为InnoDB对普通的查询也加了锁,如果是,那和序列化(SERIALIZABLE)的区别又在哪里呢?
MySQL manual里还有一段:
13.2.8.5. Avoiding the Phantom Problem Using Next-Key Locking (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-next-key-locking.html)
To prevent phantoms,
InnoDB
uses an algorithm called next-key locking that combines index-row locking with gap locking.You can use next-key locking to implement a uniqueness check in your application: If you read your data in share mode and do not see a duplicate for a row you are going to insert, then you can safely insert your row and know that the next-key lock set on the successor of your row during the read prevents anyone meanwhile inserting a duplicate for your row. Thus, the next-key locking enables you to “lock” the nonexistence of something in your table.
我的理解是说,InnoDB提供了next-key locks,但需要应用程序自己去加锁。manual里提供一个例子:
SELECT * FROM child WHERE id > 100 FOR UPDATE;
这样,InnoDB会给id大于100的行(假如child表里有一行id为102),以及100-102,102+的gap都加上锁。
可以使用show innodb status来查看是否给表加上了锁。
再看一个实验,要注意,表t_bitfly里的id为主键字段。实验三:
t Session A Session B
|
| START TRANSACTION; START TRANSACTION;
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly
| WHERE id<=1
| FOR UPDATE;
| +------+-------+
| | id | value |
| +------+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +------+-------+
| INSERT INTO t_bitfly
| VALUES (2, 'b');
| Query OK, 1 row affected
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +------+-------+
| | id | value |
| +------+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +------+-------+
| INSERT INTO t_bitfly
| VALUES (0, '0');
| (waiting for lock ...
| then timeout)
| ERROR 1205 (HY000):
| Lock wait timeout exceeded;
| try restarting transaction
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +------+-------+
| | id | value |
| +------+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +------+-------+
| COMMIT;
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +------+-------+
| | id | value |
| +------+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +------+-------+
v
可以看到,用id<=1加的锁,只锁住了id<=1的范围,可以成功添加id为2的记录,添加id为0的记录时就会等待锁的释放。
MySQL manual里对可重复读里的锁的详细解释:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/set-transaction.html#isolevel_repeatable-read
For locking reads (
SELECT
withFOR UPDATE
orLOCK IN SHARE MODE
),UPDATE
, andDELETE
statements, locking depends on whether the statement uses a unique index with a unique search condition, or a range-type search condition. For a unique index with a unique search condition,InnoDB
locks only the index record found, not the gap before it. For other search conditions,InnoDB
locks the index range scanned, using gap locks or next-key (gap plus index-record) locks to block insertions by other sessions into the gaps covered by the range.
------
一致性读和提交读,先看实验,实验四:
t Session A Session B
|
| START TRANSACTION; START TRANSACTION;
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +----+-------+
| | id | value |
| +----+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +----+-------+
| INSERT INTO t_bitfly
| VALUES (2, 'b');
| COMMIT;
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +----+-------+
| | id | value |
| +----+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +----+-------+
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly LOCK IN SHARE MODE;
| +----+-------+
| | id | value |
| +----+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| | 2 | b |
| +----+-------+
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly FOR UPDATE;
| +----+-------+
| | id | value |
| +----+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| | 2 | b |
| +----+-------+
|
| SELECT * FROM t_bitfly;
| +----+-------+
| | id | value |
| +----+-------+
| | 1 | a |
| +----+-------+
v
如果使用普通的读,会得到一致性的结果,如果使用了加锁的读,就会读到“最新的”“提交”读的结果。
本身,可重复读和提交读是矛盾的。在同一个事务里,如果保证了可重复读,就会看不到其他事务的提交,违背了提交读;如果保证了提交读,就会导致前后两次读到的结果不一致,违背了可重复读。
可以这么讲,InnoDB提供了这样的机制,在默认的可重复读的隔离级别里,可以使用加锁读去查询最新的数据。
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-consistent-read.html
If you want to see the “freshest” state of the database, you should use either the READ COMMITTED isolation level or a locking read:
SELECT * FROM t_bitfly LOCK IN SHARE MODE;
------
结论:MySQL InnoDB的可重复读并不保证避免幻读,需要应用使用加锁读来保证。而这个加锁度使用到的机制就是next-key locks。
