When I apply a date range to my query, is there anyway to display the dates used in the date range even if there is no data at those dates?
Suppose I use,
... where date between '1/12/2010' and '31/12/2010' order by date
What I want in my result is to show sum of all amount column until 1/12/2010 on that day even if there is no data for that date and also same for 31/12/2010.
Join with generate_series() to fill in the gaps.
Example:
CREATE TEMP TABLE foo AS SELECT CURRENT_DATE AS today;
SELECT
COUNT(foo.*),
generate_series::date
FROM
foo
RIGHT JOIN generate_series('2010-12-18', '2010-12-25', interval '1 day') ON generate_series = today
GROUP BY
generate_series;
Result:
0,'2010-12-18'
0,'2010-12-19'
1,'2010-12-20'
0,'2010-12-21'
0,'2010-12-22'
0,'2010-12-23'
0,'2010-12-24'
0,'2010-12-25'
