You get me. |

It sounds dumb, but Im wanting to count what is NOT in the database, if something has not been downloaded there will be no month entry to group on,.so I'll never see that month in my results.
In short I need to query a daterange from a table and if the a date is not found I want it returned as count = 0.
the other Url explains it a fair bit further. |

OK so you can count the number of entries for a date no problem, it when it has 0 downloads you dont get 0.
So you get:
Feb, 5
Apr, 7
You want:
Jan, 0
Feb, 5
Mar, 0
Apr, 0
Corrrect ? |

put the results to a temp table then run a simple loop to fill in tyhe blanks and output the result.
can't think of a better way at the moment |

| yeah thats what I can do but it gets complicated cause a result set is immutable so have to read the results into a vector then plug in zero values etc etc, I've been told this 'must' run native on the db itself, so this is the only way... with out mucking around and doing it programatically, and I dont wanna have to do that. |

Oh ok, so basically you are working on read only access to the DB, fair enough then.
Will have to do some more thinking. |
