GROUP BY hour

["Nathan Thatcher" <n8thatcher@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have, what I imagine to be, a fairly simple question. I have a query
that produces output for a line graph. Each row represents an interval
on the graph.

SELECT COUNT(call_id) AS value, EXTRACT(hour from start_time) AS hour
FROM c_call WHERE  start_time >= '2008-08-01 00:00:00' AND end_time <=
'2008-08-01 23:59:59' GROUP BY hour


This works great when there is data in each interval but when a given
interval has no data the group is omitted. What is the best way to
ensure that the result contains a row for each interval with the value
field set to zero or null? The reporting tool is incapable of filling
in the gaps.

Thanks
