Hi Carsten,

What you need is a *left join* :

|select grid.gid, count(kioskdhd3.geom) AS totale
FROM grid
LEFT JOIN kioskdhd3
ON st_contains(grid.geom,kioskdhd3.geom)
GROUP BY grid.gid;|

Note that I changed the * in count to a column from your points table because you only want to count when you have a non-null value in your points table.

Regards,
 Tom

I've got a simple problem: I want to count the number of points within a set of polygons.

I have a SQL already but it only gives back the gid of the polygone that actually contains points.

My tables: a polygon layer with 19.000 rows and a point layer with 450 rows.

The following SQL

|select grid.gid, count(*) AS totale FROM grid, kioskdhd3 WHERE
st_contains(grid.geom,kioskdhd3.geom) GROUP BY grid.gid;
|

return only some 320 polygons that actually contain points. But I want all polygons returned, even thought the number of points is 0.

Of course it has to do with my WHERE-clause. Where do I have to put in my st_contains?

Thank you Carsten
