  • Calculate obligation totals or counts for this vendor category
  • Compare award shares across socioeconomic or ownership classes

Query Guidance

Use explicit boolean/coded filters such as WHERE field = 1 or WHERE field IN ('Y','1') only after confirming the source encoding. When aggregating, coalesce carefully and separate false from missing if data quality or completeness matters; for example, use CASE expressions to preserve nulls rather than collapsing them into 0 by default.
