mybatis mapper search across multiple columns using same param

Question

Mapper:

List<Person> list(@Param("search") String search);

SQL in mapper XML:

<select id="searchPersons" resultType="Person">
select * from persons
where firstname like '%#{search}%' or lastname like '%#{search}%'
</select>

Here, I am trying to search on firstname and lastname columns with only parameter from the mapper class. However, I am getting the exception below:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Parameter index out of range (2 > number of parameters, which is 1).

Answer 1

you must use ${param_name} instead of #{param_name}. MyBatis insert ${} params in the sql string before compile the Statement.
