Write mysql queries with bit wise operators in mybatis mapper xml

Question

How do we write sql queries which has bit wise operators in mybatis mapper xml. I have a query which has bitwise operator AND (&) in the where clause.

WHERE id=1000 AND NOT status&4 AND NOT status&16 ; //This is the where clause of the query. 

id and status are columns of the table. status column is INT data type. When i write this query in mybatis mapper file it shows an error for the & operator? and when application runs throws an exception

org.apache.ibatis.builder.BuilderException: Error parsing SQL Mapper Configuration. Cause: org.apache.ibatis.builder.BuilderException: Error creating document instance

Answer 1

Since you're writing the query in an XML file, you should escape the ampersand character using & .

Your queries should look like this

WHERE id=1000 AND NOT status&4 AND NOT status&16
