Are you looking for something like this?
SELECT 1.0 * sum(CASE WHEN inspect_pass THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / count(*)
FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT ON (inspect_id) inspect_id, inspect_pass FROM t_inspect_result ORDER BY inspect_id, id
) AS s;
Multiply by 100.0 instead of 1.0 if you want percent.
If you have a cast from boolean to integer (built-in in 8.1, easily
created in earlier versions) then you could replace the CASE
expression with a cast (inspect_pass::integer). Whether to use the
more explicit CASE or the more concise cast is a matter of style.
