How i can fill date gaps in MySQL? Here is my query:
SELECT DATE(posted_at) AS date,
COUNT(*) AS total,
SUM(attitude = 'positive') AS positive,
SUM(attitude = 'neutral') AS neutral,
SUM(attitude = 'negative') AS negative
FROM `messages`
WHERE (`messages`.brand_id = 1)
AND (`messages`.`spam` = 0
AND `messages`.`duplicate` = 0
AND `messages`.`ignore` = 0)
GROUP BY date ORDER BY date
It returns proper result set - but i want to fill gaps between dates start and end by zeros. How i can do this?

You'll need to create a helper table and fill it with all dates from start to end, then just LEFT JOIN with that table:
SELECT d.dt AS date,
COUNT(*) AS total,
SUM(attitude = 'positive') AS positive,
SUM(attitude = 'neutral') AS neutral,
SUM(attitude = 'negative') AS negative
FROM dates d
LEFT JOIN
messages m
ON m.posted_at >= d.dt
AND m.posted_at < d.dt + INTERVAL 1 DAYS
AND spam = 0
AND duplicate = 0
AND ignore = 0
GROUP BY
d.dt
ORDER BY
d.dt
Basically, what you need here is a dummy rowsource.
MySQL is the only major system which lacks a way to generate it.
PostgreSQL implements a special function generate_series to do that, while Oracle and SQL Server can use recursion (CONNECT BY and recursive CTEs, accordingly).
