MyBatis batch update for oracle - mybatis

Question

I am trying to do the batch update in myBatis with oracle Database, where i have to update 10K+ records.
But when i use below
I am getting exception says 'invalid character'.
It is working fine when i do single update statement multiple times.
Please help with your example if you already tried this.
<update id="batchUpdate">
<foreach collection="empList" item="employee" separator=";">
UPDATE Employee
SET EMP_JOBTITLE = #{employee.jobTitle},
EMP_STATUS = #{employee.status}
WHERE Employee_ID = #{employee.empId}
</foreach>
</update>

Answer 1

If you use Oracle:
<update id="batchUpdate">
call
begin
<foreach collection="empList" item="employee" close=";" eparator=";">
UPDATE Employee
SET EMP_JOBTITLE = #{employee.jobTitle},
EMP_STATUS = #{employee.status}
WHERE Employee_ID = #{employee.empId}
</foreach>
end
</update>

Answer 2

I was not able to resolve that error, but came across this post in which a code contributor recommended that the proper way to batch update is to open a session in batch mode and repeatedly call update for a single record.
Here's what works for me:
public void updateRecords(final List<GisObject> objectsToUpdate) {
final SqlSession sqlSession = MyBatisUtils.getSqlSessionFactory().openSession(ExecutorType.BATCH);
try {
final GisObjectMapper mapper = sqlSession.getMapper(GisObjectMapper.class);
for (final GisObject gisObject : objectsToUpdate) {
mapper.updateRecord(gisObject);
}
sqlSession.commit();
} finally {
sqlSession.close();
}
}
Then, remove the foreach in your update and modify it to update a single record (remove the "employee.")
