I also think so.

I wouldn't think that that can be always solved. Whether it can be or notdepends on the elements of "day" column. But
untilits aggregation will lack two successive numbers or more, the following query is useful,I guess.
CREATE VIEW v_table1 AS SELECT tt.day , COUNT(tt.data) AS data FROM (SELECT t.day, t.data FROM table1 AS t
UNIONALL SELECT 1, NULL -- indispensable if there's no row of day=1. )AS tt GROUP BY tt.day
;
SELECT t0.day, t0.data FROM v_table1 AS t0
UNION
SELECT t1.day - 1 , 0 FROM v_table1 AS t1, v_table1 AS t2 WHERE t1.day > t2.day GROUP BY t1.day HAVING
t1.day> MAX(t2.day) + 1
;
In addition, until its aggregation will lack THREE ones or more, ...
SELECT t0.day, t0.data FROM v_table1 AS t0
UNION
SELECT t1.day - 1, 0 FROM ...
UNION
SELECT t3.day - 2, 0 FROM ...
