IS there anyway to force SQL to return a 0 with a query where no records are returned?

No Records?

Use the NullValue function NVL(). The format is
NVL(fieldname, option) as in the example below-
SELECT NVL(fieldname, 0) FROM tablename.
If the field returns an empty or null value, this statement will substitute it with 0 as specified in the bracket.
