1. What is the purpose of the insertSelective method in MyBatis?

The insertSelective method in MyBatis is used to insert a new record into a database table, but only includes the non-null fields in the SQL insert statement. This allows for more flexibility in inserting data, as only the fields that have a value assigned to them will be included in the insert statement.

2. How does insertSelective differ from insert in MyBatis?

The main difference between insertSelective and insert in MyBatis is that insertSelective only includes the non-null fields in the SQL insert statement, while insert includes all fields, regardless of whether they have a value assigned to them or not. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to insert a new record but only want to include certain fields in the insert statement.

3. What are some common issues that can occur when using insertSelective in MyBatis?

Some common issues that can occur when using insertSelective in MyBatis include:

• Not setting the appropriate values for the fields that should be included in the insert statement. If a field is not set to a non-null value, it will not be included in the insert statement.
• Not handling null values properly. If a field is set to null and is not explicitly handled in the insertSelective method, it may cause errors when trying to insert the record.
• Not properly mapping the entity fields to the database table columns. Make sure that the entity fields are correctly mapped to the database table columns in the MyBatis mapping file to ensure that the insertSelective method works as expected.

Overall, it is important to carefully review and test the insertSelective method to ensure that it is functioning correctly and inserting the data as intended.
