MyBatis does support dynamic SQL in the nature you need. The big trick, is to use ${variable} instead of #{variable}. Just be careful, it leaves you susceptible to SQL injection attacks. When using # MyBatis uses PreparedStatements to avoid SQL injection, and then

So take for example example, you had a Mapper interface with method.

ComplexObject selectSomeObject(@Param("columnName") String columnName);

Your SQL map could use the parameter in part of the actual select code.

i.e.

<select id="selectSomeObject" resultType="someObject"> 
    select t1.column as ${columnName}    
    from table1 t1
 </select>
