I would think the active would be on People or Organizations. Then you can eliminate then from the query results before you ever got to the contact history.
Adrian, Excellent point. I don't know why I put active in the contacts table as it does make more sense to put it in the people table (as some clients have multiple sites, each with its own contact person).
Also not sure how you the above result when the query showed: WHERE c.active = TRUE AND c.next_contact <= 'today'::date Or did the history results come from an undisclosed query?
I don't recall which query I used for the MWE. I'll move the active column to the new table, as well as those values, and keep working on learning how to formulate complex, multi-table queries. Also, moving the active table to peoples, where there is only one row per person (rather than multiple contact rows per person) removes the need to find only the most recent row in the many of the one-to-many relationship. Thanks for the advice, Rich
