Mysql for at vælge månedsvis registrering, selvom data ikke eksisterer

Jeg vil ikke sige så meget om effektivitet, da jeg ikke har testet det mod andre metoder, men uden at have en temp-tabel virker det som en rimelig vej at gå.

   SELECT COUNT(u.userID) AS total, m.month
     FROM (
           SELECT 'Jan' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Feb' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Mar' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Apr' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'May' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Jun' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Jul' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Aug' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Sep' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Oct' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Nov' AS MONTH
           UNION SELECT 'Dec' AS MONTH
          ) AS m
LEFT JOIN users u 
ON MONTH(STR_TO_DATE(CONCAT(m.month, ' 2013'),'%M %Y')) = MONTH(u.userRegistredDate)
   AND YEAR(u.userRegistredDate) = '2013'
GROUP BY m.month
ORDER BY 1+1;

Hvis du laver fagforeningen baseret på et datoformat, kan du endda reducere arbejdet og belastningen på forespørgslen.

   SELECT COUNT(u.userID) AS total, DATE_FORMAT(merge_date,'%b') AS month, YEAR(m.merge_date) AS year
     FROM (
           SELECT '2013-01-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-02-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-03-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-04-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-05-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-06-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-07-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-08-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-09-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-10-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-11-01' AS merge_date
           UNION SELECT '2013-12-01' AS merge_date
          ) AS m
LEFT JOIN users u 
       ON MONTH(m.merge_date) = MONTH(u.userRegistredDate)
          AND YEAR(m.merge_date) = YEAR(u.userRegistredDate)
GROUP BY m.merge_date
ORDER BY 1+1;
