You have to outer join with a calendar (search for this word).

Answer already gave.
What did you try for what we gave you?
What did you find searching for "calendar"?
How does this not fit your requirements?

And DO NOT post in UPPER case.
Follow BlackSwan's advice.

Michel

We do not do IM speak here. u? That person is not here right now, call back later. Do you have Chef Boyardee in a can? You better let him out before he suffocates.

Now to your problem.

Do you know what outer join is?

Do you know what a calendar table is? There are many variations on this theme from simple, all the way up to data warehouse TIME dimension. Here is a very simple example.

SQL> create table calendar (thedate date,year number,month number,day number);

Table created.

SQL> insert into calendar values (to_date('01-jan-2009','dd-mon-rrrr'),2009,1,1);

1 row created.

SQL> insert into calendar values (to_date('02-jan-2009','dd-mon-rrrr'),2009,1,2);

1 row created.

SQL> -- ...
SQL> 
SQL> insert into calendar values (to_date('31-jan-2009','dd-mon-rrrr'),2009,1,31);

1 row created.


So now join your data to the calendar table using outer join.

Good luck, Kevin

To state it again, in smaller words.

1) You need a data source that will provide you with a record for each day of the month. @Kevin's Calendar table will do, but there are other, more flexible approaches

2) You take your query, and outer join it ,on a date column, to a query selecting every row from the Calendar, so that you still get a row from the calendar even if your query doesn't return a row for a specific date you still get a row back from the calendar.
