I have a set of posts on monthly basis. Now i need an array which contains total records of posts posted in each month. I tried below MySql query, Its working fine, but I was expecting 0(Zero) for months where there is no records. Here its not returning 0.
I read that COUNT() will not return '0', So how do i achieve this?
I tried IFNULL(), and COALESCE() but still getting the same result. Please help with this query. Thank You......
SELECT
count(id) as totalRec
FROM ('post')
WHERE year(date) = '2013'
AND monthname(date) IN ('January', 'February', 'March')
GROUP BY year(date)-month(date)
ORDER BY 'date' ASC
Got Result:
+----------+
| totalRec |
+----------+
| 7 |
| 9 |
+----------+
Expected Result (Where there is no posts for January):
+----------+
| totalRec |
+----------+
| 0 |
| 7 |
| 9 |
+----------+
