Question

how can I make this sql query return zero for the count function instead of no rows selected?

select ur.uno, count(*)*5
from userresponse ur, question q
where ur.eno = q.eno 
  and q.correctanswer = ur.response 
  and q.qno = ur.qno 
  and ur.uno = '1' 
  and q.eno = '1'
group by ur.uno

q.correctanswer = ur.response is never true for this query that’s what causes the no row selected, however I want to return zero.

sample data

Note:
– “||” is used to concatenate strings
– each string is between a pair of single quotes.
– each record is between “(” and “)”.
– fields are ordered according to fields in tables
– “\n” means a new line

Answer 1

Then it sounds like you want to do an outer join

select ur.uno, count(q.eno)*5
  from userresponse ur
       left outer join question q
         on(    ur.eno = q.eno 
            and q.correctanswer = ur.response 
            and q.qno = ur.qno 
            and q.eno = '1')
where ur.uno = '1' 
group by ur.uno

This will return a row for every row in userresponse with a uno of ‘1’ with a count(*) of 0 if there are no matching rows in question.
