Potresti usare:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT date, s.product
FROM ... -- some way to generate date series
CROSS JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT product FROM sales_data) s
)
SELECT
c.date,
c.product,
COUNT(sd.sale_id) AS sales
FROM cte c
LEFT JOIN sales_data sd
ON c.date = sd.date AND c.product= sd.product
GROUP BY c.date, c.product
ORDER BY c.date, c.product;
Crea prima il prodotto cartesiano di date e prodotti, quindi LEFT JOIN
ai dati effettivi ed eseguire calcoli.
Oracle ha un'ottima funzionalità per questi scenari chiamata Join esterni partizionati :
SELECT times.time_id, product, quantity
FROM inventory PARTITION BY (product)
RIGHT OUTER JOIN times ON (times.time_id = inventory.time_id)
WHERE times.time_id BETWEEN TO_DATE('01/04/01', 'DD/MM/YY')
AND TO_DATE('06/04/01', 'DD/MM/YY')
ORDER BY 2,1;
