Calculate percentage of false records to total records within a aggregate function I'm looking for a solution to calculate a percentage rate of a boolean value:

Model:
Products 1 &lt;-&gt; n Components
Components.essential is a boolean attribute

What I want to calculate is something like:
SELECT products.*, count(comp_a.essential)/count(comp_b.essential) AS essential_percentage
From products
INNER JOIN components AS comp_a ON products.id = comp_a.product_id
INNER JOIN components AS comp_b ON products.id = comp_b.product_id
WHERE comp_a.essential = 1
GROUP BY products.id

Unfortunately this statement calculates way too many components as there are two INNER JOIN on the components model...
Any help on this?

Note the standard GROUP BY clause.

This gives "true" percent because I assume that's what you mean (not false)

SELECT
  p.*, 
  count(CASE WHEN c.essential = 1 THEN 1 END) / count(*) AS essential_percentage
From 
  products p
  LEFT OUTER JOIN 
  components c ON p.id = c.product_id
GROUP BY 
  p.*;


or

  count(nullif(c.essential, 0)) / count(*) AS essential_percentage
