The <context> element is used to specify the environment for generating a set of objects. Child elements are used to specify the database to connect to, the type of objects to generate, and the tables to introspect. Multiple <context> elements can be listed inside an <generatorConfiguration> element to allow generating objects from different databases, or with different generation parameters, in the same run of MyBatis Generator (MBG).

defaultModelType |
This property is used to set the default for generated model types.
The model type defines how MBG will generate domain classes. With some
model types MBG will generate a single domain class for each table,
with others MBG may generate different classes depending on the structure
of the table. The property supports these values:
|
||||||
targetRuntime |
This property is used to specify the runtime target for generated code.
The property supports these special values:
If you want to create a different code generator in entirety,
then use this value to specify the fully qualified name of a
class that extends |
||||||
introspectedColumnImpl | Use this value to specify the fully qualified name of a
class that extends org.mybatis.generator.api.IntrospectedColumn .
This is used if you want to change the behavior of the code generators
when calculating column information. See the
Extending MyBatis Generator page for more information. |
This table lists the properties that can be specified with the <property> child element:
Property Name | Property Values |
---|---|
autoDelimitKeywords | If true, then MBG will delimit SQL keywords if they are used as
column names in tables.
MBG maintains a list of SQL keywords
for many different databases. However, the list may not be
totally comprehensive. If a particular keyword is not on MBG's
list, you may force the column to be delimited with a
<columnOverride> .
See the source code for the class
The default value is false. |
beginningDelimiter | The value to use as the beginning identifier delimiter for SQL identifiers that
require delimiters. MBG will automatically delimit SQL identifiers if the
identifier contains a space. MBG will also delimit SQL identifiers if
specifically requested in a <table> or <columnOverride> configuration.
The default value is double quotes ("). |
endingDelimiter | The value to use as the ending identifier delimiter for SQL identifiers that
require delimiters. MBG will automatically delimit SQL identifiers if the
identifier contains a space. MBG will also delimit SQL identifiers if
specifically requested in a <table> or <columnOverride> configuration.
The default value is double quotes ("). |
