For example:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-tag\">&lt;<span class=\"hljs-name\">select<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-attr\">id<\/span>=<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"getUserById\"<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-attr\">parameterType<\/span>=<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"int\"<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-attr\">resultType<\/span>=<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"User\"<\/span>&gt;<\/span>\r\n  <span class=\"hljs-tag\">&lt;<span class=\"hljs-name\">bind<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-attr\">name<\/span>=<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"userId\"<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-attr\">value<\/span>=<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"'USER_' + id\"<\/span>\/&gt;<\/span>\r\n  SELECT * FROM users WHERE user_id = ${userId}\r\n<span class=\"hljs-tag\">&lt;\/<span class=\"hljs-name\">select<\/span>&gt;<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In the example above, the bind tag binds the id parameter to the userId variable, concatenates the string &#8216;USER_&#8217; with the id, and then directly references the userId variable in the subsequent SQL statement.
