the second iteration is working, too. it counts the
passes and total by serial_number_id (i will
eventually use the product id and the serial number to
determine the serial_number_id, but i've excluded that
"noise" to keep this simpler).

again, it works on the whole table, not just those
passes and fails that were the first inspection for a
given inspection (remember, this is first pass yield,
not second, third or fourth pass yield).

eg,

inspect #1: *pass*
inspect #2: *fail*, fail, fail, fail, fail, pass
inspect #3: *fail*, pass

first pass yield = 1 / 3 = 33.3%.

in my previous query, i resolved this by doing:

SELECT DISTINCT ON (t_inspect_result.inspect_id)...
....
ORDER BY t_inspect_result.inspect_id DESC,
t_inspect_result.inspect_result_timestamp ASC

i have no clue how to implement something similar
given the different SQL structure below...

SELECT a.passed, b.total, a.passed/(b.total::numeric)
as yield
FROM (SELECT count(inspect_result_pass) as passed
FROM t_inspect_result, t_inspect,
t_inspect_area,
t_serial_number,
t_link_contract_number_job_number, t_job_number,
t_product
WHERE inspect_result_pass = 't'
AND t_inspect.inspect_id =
t_inspect_result.inspect_id
AND t_inspect.serial_number_id =
t_serial_number.serial_number_id
AND
t_serial_number.link_contract_number_job_number_id =

t_link_contract_number_job_number.link_contract_nu mber_job_number_id
AND
t_link_contract_number_job_number.job_number_id =
t_job_number.job_number_id
AND t_product.product_id =
t_job_number.product_id
AND t_inspect.inspect_area_id =
t_inspect_area.inspect_area_id
AND t_inspect.serial_number_id = '200'
)
AS a,
(SELECT count(inspect_result_pass) as total
FROM t_inspect_result, t_inspect,
t_inspect_area,
t_serial_number,
t_link_contract_number_job_number, t_job_number,
t_product
WHERE t_inspect.inspect_id =
t_inspect_result.inspect_id
AND t_inspect.serial_number_id =
t_serial_number.serial_number_id
AND
t_serial_number.link_contract_number_job_number_id =

t_link_contract_number_job_number.link_contract_nu mber_job_number_id
AND
t_link_contract_number_job_number.job_number_id =
t_job_number.job_number_id
AND t_product.product_id =
t_job_number.product_id
AND t_inspect.inspect_area_id =
t_inspect_area.inspect_area_id
AND t_inspect.serial_number_id = '200'
)
AS b
