sql - Aggregating Boolean Data in Access -
is there accepted/better method aggregate boolean data in access query? i have 2 related tables, first table contains grouped summary of data second. 1 of fields in second table boolean yes/no flag indicating row requires 'attention'. i planning on performing or across rows of second table , storing result in first table indicate 'at least one' of associated rows table 2 needs 'attention'. i see access stores false 0 , true -1 , have used sum/group , seem have achieved result aiming for. each true value (-1) sums , gives me negative number access seems happy interpret true. notice there doesn't seem way perform , operation (multiplication?) made me think method i'm using bit of hack , may have unintended consequences. why not using sum(-myflag) and compare count(*) ? can test both figures equal.
