You asked for help about help category: "  Data Manipulation"
For more information, type 'help <item>', where <item> is one of the following
topics:
   CACHE INDEX
   CHANGE MASTER TO
   DEALLOCATE PREPARE
   DELETE

Syntax:
EXPLAIN tbl_name
//等同于DESCRIBE table_name，显示数据表定义结构
Or:
EXPLAIN [EXTENDED] SELECT select_options
//显示MySQL执行SELECT语句的细节，方便采取优化策略

The EXPLAIN statement can be used either as a synonym for DESCRIBE or as a way to obtain information about how MySQL executes a SELECT statement:
o EXPLAIN tbl_name is synonymous with DESCRIBE tbl_name or SHOW COLUMNS FROM tbl_name.
o When you precede a SELECT statement with the keyword EXPLAIN, MySQL displays information from the optimizer about the qry execution plan. That is, MySQL explains how it would process the SELECT, incl ing information about how tables are joined and in which order.
