  • Ruleset generation for multiple entities with multiple data values per attribute
    Patent number: 8595231
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for processing abstract rules with query results having rows with multiple data values per column. In general, value fields are created to store the multiple data values of each attribute contained in each row of the query results. The abstract rule is transformed, resulting in a single executable rule corresponding to each row of the query results. Each executable rule references the value fields created to store the multiple data values. Each executable rule is then processed, utilizing the value fields of the corresponding row as rule inputs.
