BOOL_OR
You’ll learn how to use the BOOL_OR() function to aggregate boolean values.
Overview
The BOOL_OR() function calculates all the boolean values in the aggregated group, which will have these results:
- false if all the values are false for every row.
- true if at least one row in the group is true.
The input and the return type must be in BOOL.
💡NULL values are not aggregated, so it will return NULL if there are zero input rows.
Examples
In this example, we will use a payment table that stores details of the orders, whether the order has been paid or unpaid by the customer:
The above query will show the following table:
#Case 1: BOOL_OR with a true result
We will find out if all customers have paid for their orders using the query below:
If there is at least one TRUE value, the overall result will be TRUE. The final output shows that some order has been paid regardless of the other unpaid orders.
#Case 2: BOOL_OR with a false result
We will find out if Aaron has paid for his orders using the query below:
If all values are FALSE, then the overall result will be FALSE. The final output shows that Aaron hasn’t paid for all his orders.
