OK, thank you. How is the speed of this index compared with an indexed date column if I do: year_number='x' and month_number='y' and day_number='z'; They should have about the same cardinality, right? Thanks, Anders Chris wrote: Anders Lundgren wrote: One potential solution might be to

Hi, I am trying to deal with empty values so that I can graph data over a 24 hour period without gaps. I created a table called HOURS which simply has 0-23 and I am trying to do a join on this to produce the desired results. I think that the DATE_FORMAT in the query is screwing things up. The

Splitting out your values will cause problems where doing greater than/less than searching. If you search on year_number=2000 and month_number=6, that's not going to give you everything from 6/2000 on. It will return really only the second half of each year from 2000 on. To include 2/2002,

You can't join on the result of calculations in the field selection. The result is not associated with any table. So the problem isn't so much with the date_format statement, but that you are joining on HOURS.hour the timestamp, not HOURS.hour the DATE_FORMAT. I would think you would be getting

One of the most puzzling and challenging things to do with SQL can be to show what's NOT there, as you're trying to do. Many people opt to do such a report in their favorite scripting language for this reason, as one can easily increment timestamps by a given amount and re-do the query. Can be
