Query Guidance

In SQL, compare against the dataset's true indicator value explicitly, for example where the field = 1 or = 'Y' after confirming the extract convention. Include null handling in filters and joins, and if analyzing across multiple procurement datasets, normalize the flag to a consistent boolean before aggregating.
