I've got some date-based data where, on some days, there are no records in the table. I'm summing the number of records for each day and want to end up with a recordset along the lines of:
Date Total 1/1/2003 5 2/1/2003 6 3/1/2003 0 4/1/2003 6 As some days have no records, a vanilla aggregate query won't have a record for those days where there is no data, so was wondering if there was any way in Oracle of doing an aggregate query with an outer join on a date range (if that makes sense), so that those days with no records have a row with 0 for Total. The only other way I can think of doing it is creating a new query object, looping through the date range specified in the first query and using QoQ to populate the new query... but can it be done in the database? I've got a feeling the answer is going to be soooooo obvious.
