Is using foreach attribute in mybatis/ibatis for oracle sql updates a best practice? Below is my query in the sql map.
<update id="updateFG" parameterClass="java.util.Map">
<foreach collection="entries.entrySet()" item="item" index="index" >
UPDATE <<tablename>>
SET description = #{item.value},
last_mod_date= SYSDATE
WHERE name = #{item.key}
</foreach>
</update>
When I try to run this piece of code it is throwing me an error:
Error parsing XML. Cause: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 49; columnNumber: 72; Element type "foreach" must be declared.
Okay so when I changed my DCOTYPE from sqlmap to mapper - it worked fine.. I think foreach cannot be used for sqlMap..
EDIT: realized the foreach is not efficient for multiple rows so used batch instead
