How to update a Column in all rows with single query - Android Room Database

Question

I am trying to update a column in Room database android which is associated with all rows.

My condition is i have a column called isActive which is a boolean column if a row contains true value for this column all other row should have false

This is what i have tried but it clearly updates a single row

@Query("UPDATE ADDRESS SET isActive = (CASE WHEN isActive = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) WHERE addressId = :addressId")

Only the row I'm pointing to with primary key is getting updated i want all rows expect that row to update

Even if the column is already true it should be changed to false

How do I solve this?

如果要更新所有行，则必须删除 where 条件。
