My SELECT statement returns following results


------    ------ 
Item       Count
------    ------
a          120
b          100
v           50  
d           90
------    ------

i need to put one dummy row at the end. "dummy" is not present in the table.

like this


------    ------ 
Item       Count
------    ------
a          120
b          100
v           50  
d           90
dummy        0
------    ------

thanks

use union all rather than union.union takes distinct of results and hence performance might suffer compared to union all.
