Does anyone have an efficient strategy for handling null values in a reporting database? The designer of the database wants to have zeros inserted into any column that does not have a transaction for a given month.
Example1 (New record is created in month 10 - Previous 9 months need to be updated with zeros)
Example2 (A record does not have a transaction for current month - Column needs to be updated with zero value.)

I would look at modifying the table to set the columns as not null with defaults of zero.
