I am newbie in PL/SQL development. Currently I am practising on the while loop. But I have face a problem. I am going to show you the sample data as following:

Intial data:
<Seq> <Group> <Code> <Flag>
1 AB3 A001 Y
2 AB1 A001
3 AB1 A002
4 AB2 A002 Y
5 AB2 A003 Y
6 AB4 A004 Y
7 AB4 A005 Y

Expected result after checking:
<Seq> <Group> <Code> <Flag>
1 AB3 A001
2 AB1 A001
3 AB1 A002
4 AB2 A002
5 AB2 A003
6 AB4 A004 Y
7 AB4 A005 Y

Refer from Initial data, second and third records are being unflag in initial stage. 4th record will be unflagged as well due to third record with code A002 being being unflagged. 5th record will being unflagged as well due to same group with 4th record.

1st record will be unflagged due to second record with code A001 being unflagged. 6th & 7th record should remain as original due to there is no any record with code A004, A005 being unflagged in other group.

The logic should select those record which are unflagged, from there, check the code and search from the table any records with same code, then unflag it, once one of the record being unflaged, unflag all records with same category.

I have tried to do it, but only can do until the level 1 which is unflagged the 4th and 5th record. Or all the records being unflagged which is not what I want. Any of you can help this scenario...thanks a lot.

If you'd actually read the Posting Guidelines
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/
in the section labeled:
How to format your post?


Please keep in mind that rows in a Table have NO inherent order.
In other words the terms 2nd, 3rd rows are meaningless.
Rows in a Table are like balls in a basket.
Which ball in the basket is the 1st ball & which ball is the next ball?

Cannot be hard coded that to unflag those record that less than sequence number 6. The looping should be like this

1) select those record which are unflagged,
2) from there, check the code and search from the table any records with same code, then unflag it.
3) once one of the record being unflaged, unflag all records with same group.

with this reason, the logic should not be hard coded.

What is a category, I only see seq, group, code and flag.

Post a Test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data.
