-<h1>Parameter Maps and Inline Parameters</h1>
-
-<p>Most SQL statements are useful because we can pass them values at runtime.
-Someone wants a database record with the ID 42, and we need to merge that ID
-number into a select statement. A list of one or more parameters are passed at
-runtime, and each placeholder is replaced in turn. This is simple but labor
-intensive, since developers spend a lot of time counting symbols to make sure
-everything is in sync.</p>
-
-<div class="note"><b class="tip">Note:</b>
-Preceding sections briefly touched on inline parameters, which automatically
-map properties to named parameters. Many iBATIS developers prefer this
-approach. But others prefer to stick to the standard, anonymous approach to
-SQL parameters by using parameter maps. Sometimes people need to retain the
-purity of the SQL statements; other times they need the detailed specification
-offered by parameter maps due to database or provider-specific information
-that needs to be used.
-</div>
-
-<h1>Parameter Map</h1>
-<p>A Parameter Map defines an ordered list of values that match up with the
-placeholders of a parameterized query statement. While the attributes
-specified by the map still need to be in the correct order, each parameter is
-named. You can populate the underlying class in any order, and the Parameter
-Map ensures each value is passed in the correct order.</p>
-
-<p>Parameter Maps can be provided as an external element and \emph{inline}.
-The following example shows an external Parameter Map.</p>
-
-<com:TTextHighlighter Language="xml" CssClass="source">
-<parameterMap id="parameterMapIdentifier"
- [extends="[sqlMapNamespace.]parameterMapId"]>
- <parameter
- property ="propertyName"
- [column="columnName"]
- [dbType="databaseType"]
- [type="propertyCLRType"]
- [nullValue="nullValueReplacement"]
- [size="columnSize"]
- [precision="columnPrecision"]
- [scale="columnScale"]
- [typeHandler="class.name"]
- <parameter ... ... />
- <parameter ... ... />
-</parameterMap>
-</com:TTextHighlighter>
-
-<p>In the above example, the parts in <tt>[brackets]</tt> are optional. The
-<tt>parameterMap</tt> element only requires the id attribute.
-The following example shows a typical <tt><parameterMap></tt>.</p>
-
-<com:TTextHighlighter Language="xml" CssClass="source">
-<parameterMap id="insert-product-param" class="Product">
- <parameter property="description" />
- <parameter property="id"/>
-</parameterMap>
-
-<statement id="insertProduct" parameterMap="insert-product-param">
- insert into PRODUCT (PRD_DESCRIPTION, PRD_ID) values (?,?);
-</statement>
-</com:TTextHighlighter>
-
-<div class="note"><b class="tip">Note:</b>
-Parameter Map names are always local to the Data Map definition file where
-they are defined. You can refer to a Parameter Map in another Data Map
-definition file by prefixing the <tt>id</tt> of the Parameter Map with the
-namespace of the Data Map (set in the <tt><sqlMap></tt> root element).
-</div>
-
-<h2><tt><parameterMap></tt> attributes</h2>
-
-<p>The <tt><parameterMap></tt> element
-accepts two attributes: <tt>id</tt> (required) and <tt>extends</tt> (optional).</p>
-
-<h3><tt>id</tt> attribute</h3>
-
-<p>The required <tt>id</tt> attribute provides a
-unique identifier for the <tt><parameterMap></tt> within this Data Map.</p>
-
-<h3><tt>extends</tt> attribute</h3>
-<p>The optional <tt>extends</tt> attribute can be set to the name of another
-<tt>parameterMap</tt> upon which to base this <tt>parameterMap</tt>. All properties of
-the super <tt>parameterMap</tt> will be included as part of this
-<tt>parameterMap</tt>, and values from the super <tt>parameterMap</tt> are set before
-any values specified by this <tt>parameterMap</tt>. The effect is similar to
-extending a class.</p>
-
-<h1><tt><parameter></tt> Elements</h1>
-<p>The <tt><parameterMap></tt> element holds one or more parameter child elements
-that map object properties to placeholders in a SQL statement. The sections
-that follow describe each of the attributes.</p>
-
-<h2><tt>property</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>property</tt> attribute of <tt><parameter></tt> is the name of a property of
-the parameter object. It may also be the name of an entry in an array. The
-name can be used more than once depending on the number of times it is needed
-in the statement. (In an update, you might set a column that is also part of
-the where clause.)</p>
-
-<h2><tt>direction</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>direction</tt> attribute may be used to indicate a stored procedure
-parameter's direction.</p>
-
-<!-- tabular: align=|l|l|, width=(0.2 0.4) -->
-<table class="tabular">
- <tr><th>Value</th><th>Description</th></tr>
- <tr>
- <td><tt>Input</tt></td>
- <td>input-only</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td><tt>Output</tt></td>
- <td>output-only</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td><tt>InputOutput</tt></td>
- <td>bidirectional</td>
- </tr>
-</table>
-
-<h2><tt>column</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>column</tt> attribute is used to define to the name of a parameter used by
-a stored procedure.</p>
-
-<h2><tt>dbType</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>dbType</tt> attribute is used to explicitly specify the database column
-type of the parameter to be set by this property. This attribute is normally
-only required if the column is nullable. Although, another reason to use the
-<tt>dbType</tt> attribute is to explicitly specify date types. Most SQL databases
-have more than one <tt>datetime</tt> type. Usually, a database has at least three
-different types (DATE, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP). In order for the value to map
-correctly, you might need to specify the column's <tt>dbType</tt>.</p>
-
-<div class="note"><b class="tip">Note:</b>
-Most providers only need the <tt>dbType</tt> specified for nullable columns. In
-this case, you only need to specify the type for the columns that are
-nullable.
-</div>
-
-<h2><tt>type</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>type</tt> attribute is used to specify the type of the parameter's
-property. This attribute is useful when passing <tt>InputOutput</tt> and
-<tt>Output</tt> parameters into stored procedures. The framework uses the
-specified type to properly handle and set the parameter object's properties
-with the procedure's output values after execution.</p>
-
-<h2><tt>nullValue</tt> attribute</h2>
-
-<p>The <tt>nullValue</tt> attribute can be set to any valid value (based on property
-type). The <tt>nullValue</tt> attribute is used to specify an outgoing null value
-replacement. What this means is that when the value is detected in the object
-property, a NULL will be written to the database (the opposite behavior of an
-inbound null value replacement). This allows you to use a magic null number in
-your application for types that do not support null values (such as int,
-double, float). When these types of properties contain a matching null value
-(for example, say, -9999), a NULL will be written to the database instead of
-the value.</p>
-
-<div class="tip"><b class="tip">Tip:</b>
-For round-trip transparency of null values, you must also specify database
-columns null value replacements in your <a href="?page=Manual.ResultMaps">Result Map</a>.
-</div>
-
-<h2><tt>size</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>size</tt> attribute sets the maximum size of the data within the column.</p>
-
-<h2><tt>precision</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>precision</tt> attribute is used to set the maximum number of digits used
-to represent the property value.</p>
-
-<h2><tt>scale</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>scale</tt> attribute sets the number of decimal places used to resolve the
-property value.</p>
-
-<h2><tt>typeHandler</tt> attribute</h2>
-<p>The <tt>typeHandler</tt> attribute allows the use of a
-<a href="?page=Manual.CustomTypeHandlers">Custom Type Handler</a>. This allows you to extend the DataMapper's
-capabilities in handling types that are specific to your database provider,
-are not handled by your database provider, or just happen to be a part of your
-application design. You can create custom type handlers to deal with storing
-and retrieving booleans from your database for example.</p>
