How can I write an SQL to get items grouped by days and count each item by status, returning an object representing the count of each status by day.

Sure, I'd be happy to help you write an SQL query for this task. Here's a high-level overview of how you might approach it in SQL:

1. Determine the dates for which you want to count the items. You might do this by selecting the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM dates from your item table, or by specifying them as date boundaries in a subquery or a WHERE clause.

2. Group by both the date and the status you want to count, using a GROUP BY clause. This will group the results by day (assuming you're using a date format as opposed to just a timestamp).

3. Count the number of items by status. You might do this using COUNT(_) as your aggregate function.

4. Join the results back to the date range you defined in step 1, using a JOIN or CROSS JOIN to get a list of all the dates in your range.

Here's a rough outline of what this might look like in SQL:

```
SELECT 
    d.date,  // You'd replace this with actual date columns if you have them.
    COUNT(i) as item_count,
    COUNT(CASE WHEN i.status = 'Completed' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) as completed_count,
    COUNT(CASE WHEN i.status = 'In Progress' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) as in_progress_count,
    COUNT(CASE WHEN i.status = 'Pending' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END) as pending_count
FROM 
    (SELECT MIN(date) AS date FROM items) AS start_date,
    (SELECT MAX(date) AS date FROM items) AS end_date,
    items i
    -- Use a JOIN here to link items to dates.
GROUP BY 
    d.date,
    CASE WHEN i.status = 'Completed' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END,
    CASE WHEN i.status = 'In Progress' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END,
    CASE WHEN i.status = 'Pending' THEN 1 ELSE NULL END
HAVING 
    d.date BETWEEN start_date.date AND end_date.date
```

But without more specific details about your schema, it's hard to provide a more concrete example. Be sure to check the syntax and join logic for your specific DBMS.

To achieve this, you can use SQL's `GROUP BY` and aggregate functions like `COUNT`. Here's a general idea of how you might structure your query:

```sql
SELECT
    DATE(item_timestamp) AS 'Day',
    item_status AS 'Status',
    COUNT(*) AS 'Count'
FROM
    your_table_name
GROUP BY
    DATE(item_timestamp), item_status
ORDER BY
    DATE(item_timestamp), item_status;
```

In this query:

- Replace `your_table_name` with the name of your table.
- `item_timestamp` should be replaced with the name of the column that contains the timestamp of each item.
- `item_status` should be replaced with the name of the column that contains the status of each item.

This query will return a result set where each row represents a unique combination of day and status, and the count of items for that combination.

Please note that the exact SQL syntax might vary depending on the SQL dialect you're using. For example, in PostgreSQL, you might need to use `date_trunc` function instead of `DATE` function to extract the date part from the timestamp.

Also, this query returns a result set, not an object. If you want to convert this result set into an object, you would need to handle that in your application code, which would depend on the programming language you're using.
