my dev box is winxp home with pgsql 8.1.3 (i think it
is .3, anyway). if platform issues don't expain it,
then i don't know what it is.
i think i've figured out the gist of the thought
process behind the SQL query...
1. select everything from t_inspect_result as table a
2. select max timestamp value entries in
t_inspect_result as table b
3. choose only choose those rows where the max
timestamps of table a and b are equal.
is that about it?
