You have to use an outer join. You will need a table or sequence that has every minute in a range
that you are interested in and outer join that to your actual table. This will give you a count
of zero.

i.e.

select S.minute, count(W.minute) as minutecnt

from Series_of_Minutes S left join Working_table W

on S.minute = W.minute
;

hope this helps.
