Re: generating the average 6 months spend excluding first orders

I have modified my query but I am really wondering why I am getting incorrect
results.
Please see the following link. http://sqlfiddle.com/#!15/5897e/4.

I am getting the same values for both Average 1 year spend and Average 6
months spend which might not be right.

Explaining further, the CTE in the demo generates the first time orders of a
customer which I exclude in the join when calculating the the Average Six
months spend per year.

WITH first_cust_cte AS (
SELECT o_1.persistent_key_str,
min(o_1.ord_submitted_date) AS ord_date
FROM orders o_1
GROUP BY o_1.persistent_key_str
),
first_time_customer_orders_to_be_excluded_cte as
(
SELECT o.persistent_key_str,
o.ord_id
FROM orders o
JOIN first_cust_cte c
ON o.persistent_key_str = c.persistent_key_str
AND o.ord_submitted_date = c.ord_date
)

-- 1 row per year
SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM ord_submitted_date) AS ordered

, AVG(o.item_extended_actual_price_amt)::numeric(18,2)
"Avg_6_months_spend"
FROM (SELECT generate_series(min(ord_submitted_date) -- single query ...
, max(ord_submitted_date) -- ... to get min /
max
, '1d')::date FROM orders) g
(ord_submitted_date)
LEFT join orders o USING (ord_submitted_date)
LEFT JOIN first_time_customer_orders_to_be_excluded_cte c
USING(persistent_key_str)
WHERE o.ord_submitted_date >= g.ord_submitted_date - interval '6 MONTHS'
AND ord_submitted_date <= g.ord_submitted_date + interval '6 MONTHS'
AND c.ord_id <> o.ord_id
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1

Can someone help me out? I know someone out there has a solution.
