Subject: Help with a query for charting

Message-ID: <BA606925.884E%andrew.veitch@blueyonder.co.uk> (raw)

I'm trying to do a query to count the number of tickets opened on each day
of a month. It'll always be from the 1st to the end of the month. This does
it:

SELECT TO_CHAR(DATE_TRUNC('day',date_opened),'DD') AS day, COUNT(*)
    FROM ticket GROUP BY DATE_TRUNC('day', date_opened)
    WHERE <date range here>;

But it doesn't give me a zero for the days when no tickets were opened -
which I really need because I want to graph the result.

I could do this in the application code but that doesn't seem right.

Help would be great.

Andrew
