Andreas,

  "Not" conditional element means "Not exists"... so just do:

not InclusionDependency ( r1 == $r, a1 != $a )

thank you Mark.

But how can I then negate the 3rd condition?
This would mean drools cannot handle a logical forall with field
constraints by negating applying De Morgan.

How can I say, there must not be any InclusionDependency object with r1
== $r and a1 != $a?

like "! exists ( InclusionDependency ( r1 == $r, a1 != $a ) )"

thanks,
Andy

ps: sorry for the second post

You can use bound variables in an 'exists', you can't put an 'exists'
inside of  a 'not'. 'exists' and 'not' can only take Fact patterns as
their children.

Hi,

the docs say: the not yet implemented "Existential quantifiers [...] is
supported with 'not' and 'exists' conditional elements."

Hence, I tried to formulate a rule like that:

when
   $r : Relation()
   $a : Attribute( relation == $r )
   not ( exists ( InclusionDependency ( r1 == $r, a1 != $a ) ) )
then ...

this is equiv to "forall ( InclusionDependency ( r1 == $r, a1 == $a ) )"

However, Drools doesn't allow to use BOUND VAR CONSTRAINTS together with
EXISTS, right? Can anybody help me out?

Thank you very much,
Andy
