BOOL_OR
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The BOOL_OR() aggregate function calculates the boolean disjunction of all the boolean values in the aggregated group. In other words, this is:
-
FALSEif the argument isFALSEfor every row in the group. -
TRUEif at the argument isTRUEfor at least one row in the group.
As with most aggregate functions, NULL values are not aggregated, so three valued logic does not apply here.
SELECT bool_or(ID >= 4), bool_or(ID >= 5) FROM BOOK
create.select(
boolOr(BOOK.ID.ge(4)),
boolOr(BOOK.ID.ge(5)))
.from(BOOK)
Producing:
+---------+---------+ | bool_or | bool_or | +---------+---------+ | true | false | +---------+---------+
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
boolOr(BOOK.ID.ge(4))
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
