If I select from a table and, for example, group by the month or day
to determine how much activity there is day to day or month to month,
it will only return months and days with a record and leave out any
month or day without any records making it apear at a glance that
every day or month has activity which forces me or whoever to have to
look at the date column and actively look for spots where a day or
more elapses without a single row in order to determine when nothing
has happened. Is there any select method for grouping on something
like a month and to have it output a dummy row for missing days or
months without having to write a program that makes an individual
select for each day?
Thanks!

To my knowledge, MySQL cannot return records that don't exist, nor can it
predict sequences and generate output. (If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone here
will quickly correct me, wouldn't be the first time :-) Can you enter a
dummy record into the table for days with no activity? That is the only way
I can think of to do what you want. If you were to start each day by
entering an empty record for that day, then you would get at least one hit
for each day in a weekly or monthly query, thus solving your problem.

I've been benchmarking some very simple databases. By simple, I mean a table
like this:
CREATE TABLE bench (

data TEXT )
CREATE INDEX bench_data_index ON bench (data)
which is filled with 100k records, where the data values for each record are
distinct (the data for record N is "text_item_N").

Hi all, I've got a really annoying problem that I need to fix sharpish.

onDataBound then they disappear when I do a postback with no

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
