There is a table full of grouped values like the following

nodeid link_type primary
11 outflowlink 1
11 inflowlink 1
11 outflowlink 2

Primary of 1 indicates a primary water course. Primary of 2 indicates a
secondary water course.

Obviously, one of the out flow links is an error, as its primacy value is
2. It is wrong that water flows from a primary water course into a
secondary water course.

How can a function can be designed to find and report such errors?

Regards,

David
