hello,

sure. But the problem is, I need a rule which fires exactly once for any
existance of a

$r : Relation()

...where additional constraints are true, namely:

forall $a : Attribute( relation == $r ) (
   forall InclusionDependency ( r1 == $r, a1 == $a )
)

"for all attributes a with a.relation == $r, all inclusion dependencies
i for $r must have i.a1 == $a"

sure I can use De Morgan, but only for the inner forall:
   not InclusionDependency (r1 == $r, a1 != $a)

the outer requires an attribute assigment which is not possible with drools.

Will I have to change to Jess or are there any solutions?

thank you very much,
Andy
