[snip] But your complex query isn't in the form where anything will come out "= 'f'". You have too many columns in the SELECT. What you prabably need to do is rewrite it as a subquery in the FROM clause, alias it as (say) alias_t_inspect, and then use your condition to get you what you want. I won't warrant what the performance will be, however.
