Several top-level elements in mapper:

• cache
• cache-ref
• resultMap
• parameterMap
• sql
• insert
• delete
• update
• select

SELECT

<select
  id="selectPerson"
  parameterType="int"
  parameterMap="deprecated"
  resultType="hashmap"
  resultMap="personResultMap"
  flushCache="false"
  useCache="true"
  timeout="10"
  fetchSize="256"
  statementType="PREPARED"
  resultSetType="FORWARD_ONLY">

Note: only one of resulttype and resultmap can be selected.

Resulttype can be any wrapper type / entity class; resultmap is more powerful.

Let’s take a look at an article first: the difference between resulttype and resultmap

---

Flushcache: after calling SQL, clear the local cache and secondary cache. The default value is false.
Usecache: the secondary cache is saved after the call, and the default is true for select.
Statementtype: prepared | statement | callable, corresponding to the corresponding statement type respectively.

INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE

<insert
  id="insertAuthor"
  parameterType="domain.blog.Author"
  flushCache="true"
  statementType="PREPARED"
  keyColumn=""
  useGeneratedKeys=""
  keyProperty=""
  timeout="20">

<update
  id="updateAuthor"
  parameterType="domain.blog.Author"
  flushCache="true"
  statementType="PREPARED"
  timeout="20">

<delete
  id="deleteAuthor"
  parameterType="domain.blog.Author"
  flushCache="true"
  statementType="PREPARED"
  timeout="20">

Secondary elements (tags under top level tags)

• foreach

<foreach item="item" collection="list" separator=",">
    (#{item.username}, #{item.password}, #{item.email}, #{item.bio})
</foreach>

• selectKey

<selectKey keyProperty="id" resultType="int" order="BEFORE">
    select CAST(RANDOM()*1000000 as INTEGER) a from SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
  </selectKey>

• SQL defines reusable code fragments

definition

<sql id="userColumns"> ${alias}.id,${alias}.username,${alias}.password </sql>

use

<select id="selectUsers" resultType="map">
  select
    <include refid="userColumns"><property name="alias" value="t1"/></include>,
    <include refid="userColumns"><property name="alias" value="t2"/></include>
  from some_table t1
    cross join some_table t2
</select>

• Dynamic SQL (if, choose / when / otherwise, trim, where, set, bind)
