I have one idea that hopefully wont complicate you query but it could simplfy your query by getting rid of the query nexting. Also, I haven't tested it. Basically, Replace the DISTINCT ON (t_inspect.inspect_id) construct with GROUP BY t_inspect.inspect_id HAVING t_inspect_result.inspect_result_pass = 'f' Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
