Displaying a non existent column from a Table.

Question

Hi
I have an SQL Query that returns back a count of all the
entities
select count(*)'COUNTER',
id_entity 'ENTITY'
from  claim 
where id_status = 'O'
group by id_status,id_entity 
order by id_entity ASC
Output
COUNTER ENTITY
169     AGL
6       DBC
28      DELI would like to put a non existent column called 'Type' with a counter
of 0,so that the output looks like :
COUNTER ENTITY
0       TYP
169     AGL
6       DBC
28      DELIs this possible ? What do I need to change in my select clause
for this?
Please help

monalalwani, do you mean something like this?
you have -
1 select count(*) as counter, deptno
2 from emp
3* group by deptno
UT1 > /
COUNTER DEPTNO
5 10
5 20
6 30
-- but want counter = 0 for dept 0
UT1 > select count(*) as counter, deptno
2 from emp
3 group by deptno
4 union
5 select 0, 00
6 from dual
7 /
COUNTER DEPTNO
0 0
5 10
5 20
6 30
