完整而简单的解决方案，具有类似的性能，但更短，更灵活的替代方案，目前活跃:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM stats
-- GROUP BY YEAR(record_date), MONTH(record_date), DAYOFMONTH(record_date)
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(record_date, '%Y-%m-%d')

如果你的搜索已经超过几年了，你仍然想每月分组，我建议:

版本1:

SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE YEAR(record_date), MONTH(record_date), COUNT(*)
FROM stats
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(record_date, '%Y%m')

版本#2(更有效):

SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE YEAR(record_date), MONTH(record_date), COUNT(*)
FROM stats
GROUP BY YEAR(record_date)*100 + MONTH(record_date)

我在一个大表上比较了这些版本，有1,357,918行(innodb)， 第二个版本的效果似乎更好。

版本1(平均执行10次):1.404秒 版本2(平均执行10次):0.780秒

(增加SQL_NO_CACHE键，防止MySQL对查询进行缓存。)

我试着使用上面的“WHERE”语句，我认为它是正确的，因为没有人纠正它，但我错了;经过一些搜索，我发现这是WHERE语句的正确公式，所以代码变成这样:

SELECT COUNT(id)  
FROM stats  
WHERE YEAR(record_date) = 2009  
GROUP BY MONTH(record_date)

试一试

按年(record_date)，月(record_date)分组

GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(record_date, '%Y%m')

Note (primarily, to potential downvoters). Presently, this may not be as efficient as other suggestions. Still, I leave it as an alternative, and a one, too, that can serve in seeing how faster other solutions are. (For you can't really tell fast from slow until you see the difference.) Also, as time goes on, changes could be made to MySQL's engine with regard to optimisation so as to make this solution, at some (perhaps, not so distant) point in future, to become quite comparable in efficiency with most others.

我更喜欢这样优化一年期组的选择:

SELECT COUNT(*)
  FROM stats
 WHERE record_date >= :year 
   AND record_date <  :year + INTERVAL 1 YEAR;

这样你就可以把年份绑定在一起。'2009'，带有命名参数，无需担心添加'-01-01'或单独传入'2010'。

另外，假设我们只是计算行数，id从不为NULL，我更喜欢COUNT(*)而不是COUNT(id)。
