java String lines = ""/**~ { SELECT * FROM user WHERE name="abc" }*/; System.out.println(lines);

sql SELECT * FROM user WHERE name="abc"

java String name="abc"; System.out.println(""/**~!{ This is an example with var$: name="$name" OR name=${name} OR ${"xyz".equals(name)?"A":"B":"C"} }*/);

sql This is an example with var$: name="zzg" OR name=zzg OR B

java System.out.println(" "{ SELECT * FROM user WHERE name="zzg" }*/);
