<if>标签
<select id="findActiveBlogWithTitleLike" resultType="Blog"> SELECT * FROM BLOG WHERE state = ‘ACTIVE’ <if test="title != null"> AND title like #{title} </if> </select>
if标签通常伴随着where,set出现。当增加查询条件的时候有下面的代码
<select id="findActiveBlogLike" resultType="Blog"> SELECT * FROM BLOG WHERE state = ‘ACTIVE’ <if test="title != null"> AND title like #{title} </if> <if test="author != null and author.name != null"> AND author_name like #{author.name} </if> </select>
但是当state属性也需要动态表示的时候则变成
<select id="findActiveBlogLike" resultType="Blog"> SELECT * FROM BLOG WHERE <if test="state != null"> state = #{state} </if> <if test="title != null"> AND title like #{title} </if> <if test="author != null and author.name != null"> AND author_name like #{author.name} </if> </select>
此时会出现当state为null时，sql语句会变为 select * from BLOG WHERE AND...解决此问题则引入<where><set>等标签.
<where>标签
<select id="findActiveBlogLike" resultType="Blog"> SELECT * FROM BLOG <where> <if test="state != null"> state = #{state} </if> <if test="title != null"> AND title like #{title} </if> <if test="author != null and author.name != null"> AND author_name like #{author.name} </if> </where> </select>
where 元素知道只有在一个以上的if条件有值的情况下才去插入“WHERE”子句。而且，若最后的内容是“AND”或“OR”开头的，where 元素也知道如何将他们去除。
如果 where 元素没有按正常套路出牌，我们还是可以通过自定义 trim 元素来定制我们想要的功能。比如，和 where 元素等价的自定义 trim 元素为：
<trim prefix="WHERE" prefixOverrides="AND |OR "> ... </trim>
同理当需要更新数据时使用<set>标签
<update id="updateAuthorIfNecessary"> update Author <set> <if test="username != null">username=#{username},</if> <if test="password != null">password=#{password},</if> <if test="email != null">email=#{email},</if> <if test="bio != null">bio=#{bio}</if> </set> where id=#{id} </update>
