<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>
