Help to creating BatchApex

Hi All,
Can any one help for creating batch apex using below requiremet.
We have three fields in Accounts.Those are 
     1. "Type" equals "Fd Gov't","LL Gov't","ST Gov't" 
      2. " Entity" Flag equals False 
       3. "Structure" equals " Agency ".
    
 If Type = "Fd Gov't","LL Gov't","ST Gov't"  And  "Structure" equals "Agency"  then  "Entity" Flag Should be "False".
    
Please help me to create a batch apex for above senario.

Thaks in Advance,

Hi Sive,

Here is the batch, 
global class BatchEntityUpdate implements Schedulable,Database.Batchable<sObject> {
    
    global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC){        
        String query='SELECT Id,Name,Tpe__c,Structure__c,Entity__c FROM Account WHERE Tpe__c IN (\'Fd Gov\\'t\',\'LL Gov\\'t\',\'ST Gov\\'t\') AND  Structure__c = 'Agency' AND Entity__c <> false ';     
        return Database.getQueryLocator(query);
    }
    
    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<Account> scope){ 
       
        for(Account acc : scope){
		acc.Entity__c = false; // Update the field
		}		
		Update scope;
    }       
    
    global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){        
       
    }
}

Please let me know if it helps.

Siav,
Here is the corrected code, 
global class BatchEntityUpdate implements Database.Batchable<sObject> {
    
    global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext BC){        
        String query='SELECT Id,Name,Type,Structure__c,Entity__c FROM Account WHERE Type IN (\'Fd Gov\\\'t\',\'LL Gov\\\'t\',\'ST Gov\\\'t\') AND  Structure__c = \'Agency\' AND Entity__c <> false ';     
        return Database.getQueryLocator(query);
    }
    
    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, List<Account> scope){ 
       
        for(Account acc : scope){
		acc.Entity__c = false; // Update the field
		}		
		Update scope;
    }       
    
    global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){        
       
    }
}

The query mentioned in the batch class is formed as string which will not run in workbench. Modify the query as below.

SELECT Id,Name,Type,Structure__c,Entity__c FROM Account WHERE Type IN ('Fd Gov\'t','LL Gov\'t','ST Gov\'t') AND  Structure__c = 'Agency' AND Entity__c <> false

And also for the fields mentioned in query, uneed to replace the API names of the fields. I just appended __c to names u gave. For example,for Structure field, get the API name from Account fields list and replce it(in both above query and SOQL query in the batch).

Please select the above code as the best answer if it is the solution of ur issue, so thet it will help others also who r searching for the same issue.
