I'm not familiar with your data, and I didn't study your sql very hard.

I'm not sure what this will do:

HAVING
COUNT(fxr.currency_code_quote) = 1

The only time I have ever used HAVING is like:

select name from something group by name having count(*) > 1

to find duplicate name's.

you're group by is on 5 fields, but the count is only on one.... so...

If a count is in the select part (like select count(name) from stuff)
it only counts when name is not null... so maybe that having is saying
count where currency_code_quote is not null and there is only one record
per group... I dunno.
