Use a left join instead?

test=*# select * from master;
id | name
----+----------
1 | master 1
2 | master 2
(2 rows)

test=*# select * from slave;
id | value
----+-------
1 | 1
1 | 2
1 | 3
(3 rows)

test=*# select m.id, s.id, sum(s.value) from master m right join slave s on (m.id=s.id) group by m.id, s.id;
id | id | sum
----+----+-----
1 | 1 | 6
(1 row)

test=*# select m.id, s.id, sum(s.value) from master m left join slave s on (m.id=s.id) group by m.id, s.id;
id | id | sum
----+----+-----
1 | 1 | 6
2 | |
(2 rows)
