Example: start a Order verify workflow, when a business partner ordered something and is over the credit limit "SQL=EXISTS (SELECT * FROM C_BPartner bp WHERE C_Order. C_BPartner_ID=bp. C_BPartner_ID AND SO_CreditUsed > SO_CreditLimit)". Note that the SQL based logic checks for duplicate workflows (i.e. a workflow is started only once per record).
