SQL group by day, show orders for each day

Question

I have an SQL 2005 table, let\'s call it Orders, in the format:

OrderID, OrderDate,  OrderAmount
1,       25/11/2008, 10
2,       25/11/2008, 2
3,       30/1         


        

Answer 1

Since you will want to use this date table frequently in other queries as well, I suggest you make it a permanent table and create a job to add the new year's dates once a year.
