John,
just fooling around, I came up with this. run it thru sqlplus.
obviously, change the table reference to your table.
set serveroutput on
spool results.xls
DECLARE
l_date DATE;
start_date DATE := to_date('&s_date','mm/dd/yyyy');
end_Date DATE := to_date('&e_Date','mm/dd/yyyy');
loc_sum number;
BEGIN
l_date := start_date;
LOOP
SELECT SUM(col1)
INTO loc_sum
FROM TOM3
WHERE crdate = l_date;
dbms_output.put_line(TO_CHAR(l_date,'mm/dd/yyyy') || CHR(9) ||
nvl(loc_sum,0));
l_date := l_date + 1;
EXIT WHEN l_date > end_date;
END LOOP;
END;
/
hope this helps

I want to get every date between two user entered date's whether or not it
exists in the table and then the quantity of data for the date if any
exists.
My table t1 has date and quantity values (may be more than one quantity
field per date)
and I want 0 for all dates in the range where no data exists.
Is there a sql to get this without making some kind of date table?
so if the user enters 03/02/01 and 03/06/01 they get.
03/02/01 10
03/03/01 1
03/04/01 0
03/05/01 0
03/06/01 8
They want to load into a spreadsheet.
tia.
