Hi everyone,

I try to set an attribute to true for all elements having a certain ID, when 2 defined activities are available for that certain ID.

In my optinion the corresponding SQL query would be:

  Update t set isvalid = true where id in (select id from t group by id having activity = 'a' and activity = 'b')

 

A result might look like:

idactivitiyistrue
001atrue
001btrue
001ctrue
002afalse
002cfalse
002dfalse
003atrue
003btrue

 

Is there an option to execute this in SPL?

 

Thanks,

Lukas
