(defrule getNumOfCars ?p <- (policy (policyId ?pid)) (car (policyId ?pid)) ?c <- (accumulate (bind ?count 0) (bind ?count (+ ?count 1)) ?count (car (policyId ?pid))) => (modify ?p (numOfCars ?c)) ) (defrule getNumOfDrivers ?p <- (policy (policyId ?pid)) ?c <- (accumulate (bind ?count 0) (bind ?count (+ ?count 1)) ?count (driver (policyId ?pid))) => (modify ?p (numOfDrivers ?c)) ) You can remove the queries. -W
