I have the following tables:

Member_interests:
Member_id
Interest_id

Interests:
Name
Interest_id

I need a query that selects each interest name, and the # of members who
have selected it...sample output:
Boating 25
Hiking  10
..
Swimming        0
Jumping 0
Talking 0

The following query works great, but does not display the Interest names
with 0 members:
SELECT DISTINCT(mi.interest_id), COUNT(*) AS count, i.name FROM
member_interests AS mi, interests AS i WHERE mi.interest_id = i.id GROUP
BY mi.interest_id ORDER BY i.name

Is there a way to have the "0"'s displayed as well? I'm thinking a left
join would probably be involved?
