If I have rows containing a "start" date and an "end date", how can write a SQL query that will list the days that are not contained between those dates.
Example (see SQLFiddle link above for a playable demo):
startdate enddate
2019-06-06 00:00:00.000 2019-06-08 00:00:00.000
2019-06-10 00:00:00.000 2019-06-11 00:00:00.000
2019-06-12 00:00:00.000 2019-06-13 00:00:00.000
We have a coverage gap on June 9th, because we have coverage from June 6th-June 8th, then on June 10th-June 13th.
How is it possible to identify the date of June 9th as having no coverage based on rows that have date ranges?
You could use generated calendar table and LEFT JOIN:
DECLARE #min DATE, #max DATE;
SELECT #min = MIN(workingdatestart), #max = MAX(workingdateend) FROM workingdates;
WITH cte AS (
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY 1/0), #min) AS d
FROM sys.objects s, sys.objects s2
)
SELECT c.d AS gap
FROM cte c
LEFT JOIN workingdates w ON c.d BETWEEN w.workingdatestart and w.workingdateend
WHERE c.d < #max AND w.workingDateId IS NULL;

#Lukasz Szozda stole my thunder. My answer is similar but does not use variables (I'm not suggesting that's good or bad.. just calling it out).
You can create a calendar table function (see example below) then perform a LEFT ANTI SEMI JOIN against your working days table. The benefit to this solution is the calendar table generates 0 IO.
Solution:
WITH r(L,H) AS
(
SELECT CAST(MIN(w.workingdatestart) AS DATE), CAST(MAX(w.workingdateend) AS DATE)
FROM dbo.workingdates AS w
),
cal AS
(
SELECT c.Dt
FROM r
CROSS APPLY dbo.calendar(r.L,r.H) AS c
)
SELECT c.Dt
FROM cal AS c
EXCEPT
SELECT c.Dt
FROM cal AS c
JOIN dbo.workingdates AS w
ON c.Dt BETWEEN w.workingdatestart AND w.workingdateend;
.. and the function:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.calendar(#startdate DATE, #enddate DATE)
RETURNS TABLE WITH SCHEMABINDING AS RETURN
WITH E1(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM (VALUES (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) AS x(x)),
iTally(N) AS
(
SELECT 0 UNION ALL
SELECT TOP (DATEDIFF(DAY,#startDate,#endDate)) ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1))
FROM E1 a, E1 b, E1 c
)
SELECT sortKey = i.N, Dt = DATEADD(DAY, i.N, #startDate)
FROM iTally AS i;
To achieve this you need a table that contains all dates between your minimal and maximal dates. Then just filter rows that don't exist in workingdates using LEFT JOIN.
declare #minDate date = (select min([workingdatestart]) from [workingdates])
declare #maxDate date = (select max([workingdateend]) from [workingdates])
declare #Date date = #minDate
create table #rangeOfDates (dat date)
while #Date <= #maxDate
begin
insert into #rangeOfDates values (#Date)
set #Date = dateadd(day , 1, #Date)
end
select r.dat
from #rangeOfDates as r
left join workingdates as w
on r.dat between w.workingdatestart and w.workingdateend
where w.workingdateID is null
Result:

I have a table (SYS_Holidays) that have start and end dates of each holiday period. I need to output all holiday dates in a relational form. For example, I have 25-Dec-2017 to 2-Jan-2018 as one row in the input, I want to output 25-Dec, 26-Dec ... through 2-Jan as 9 rows.
I have written this script, could you please tell me how I can make it more efficient?
SELECT
H.HolidayName
, DATEADD(DAY, Number-1, H.StartDate) AS HolidayDate
FROM
SYS_Holidays AS H
CROSS JOIN Config_Numbers AS N
WHERE
-- Figure the # of days between start and end: one row for each holiday-date
-- If EndDate is null, just use StartDate (i.e. 1-day holiday)
N.Number <= DATEDIFF(DAY, H.StartDate, ISNULL(H.EndDate, H.StartDate) ) + 1
NB: Config_Numbers is a table I have created with a huge list of integers (as BIGINT)
It can be done using a date table and an inner join. Use the subquery to make a table if it is not efficient enough:
Create table #Test (HolidayName nvarchar(100), StartDate Date, EndDate Date)
Insert Into #Test Values ('Christmas', '2017-12-22', '2018-01-03'), ('Easter' , '2017-04-10', '2017-04-16')
SELECT HolidayName, DatesList.[Date] as HolidayDate
FROM #Test t
inner join (
SELECT cast(dateadd(day, number, '2017-1-1') as date) as [Date]
FROM master..spt_values WHERE type='P' AND number < 1000) AS DatesList
on t.StartDate<=DatesList.[Date] and t.EndDate>=DatesList.[Date]
I modified #cloudsafe's answer, to yield the code below. It is still much faster than any of the joins using Config_Numbers. Subtree cost came to ~0.2785.
I figured that 2048 can cover a little more than 5 years, so I broke my code up into 5-year blocks, and did a UNION to join them up.
Trouble is, I'd have to remember to do another UNION every 5-years :-(
SELECT HolidayName, DatesList.[Date] as HolidayDate
FROM SYS_Holidays AS H
inner join (
SELECT cast(dateadd(day, number, '2013-01-01') as date) as [Date]
FROM master..spt_values WHERE type='P' AND number < 2048) AS DatesList
on H.StartDate <= DatesList.[Date] and H.EndDate >=DatesList.[Date]
UNION
SELECT HolidayName, DatesList.[Date] as HolidayDate, H.HolidayId, H.CampusId, H.CategoryId
FROM SYS_Holidays AS H
inner join (
SELECT cast(dateadd(day, number, '2018-01-01') as date) as [Date]
FROM master..spt_values WHERE type='P' AND number < 2048) AS DatesList
on H.StartDate <= DatesList.[Date] and H.EndDate >=DatesList.[Date]
Any further suggestions for improvement, please?
This is similar to this mySQL question except I only want the end of month dates: Get a list of dates between two dates
I want to be able to enter two dates, something like:
SELECT EndOfMonth('1/1/2015', '1/1/2017');
And the returned results should look like
EndOfMonth
1/31/2015
2/28/2015
3/31/2015

The SQL Server version I'm using is 2008, so I actually don't have access to EOMONTH().
Using a numbers table makes things easier. If you don't already have a numbers table you can use the following sql to create one (taken from this SO post):
SELECT TOP 10000 IDENTITY(int,0,1) AS Number
INTO Tally
FROM sys.objects s1
CROSS JOIN sys.objects s2
ALTER TABLE Tally ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Tally PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (Number)
To learn more about the numbers table and how to use it, read Jeff Moden's The "Numbers" or "Tally" Table: What it is and how it replaces a loop article.
Once you have a numbers table, it's fairly easy with versions 2012 or higher, using the EOMONTH built in function:
DECLARE #Start date = '2015-01-01', #End date = '2017-01-01'
SELECT EOMONTH(DATEADD(MONTH, Number, #Start))
FROM Tally
WHERE Number < DATEDIFF(MONTH, #Start, #End)
For earlier versions, you can use DATEADD with DATEDIFF to get the last day of the previous month, and then simply add one month:
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, -DATEPART(DAY, #Start), (DATEADD(MONTH, Number+1, #Start)))
FROM Tally
WHERE Number < DATEDIFF(MONTH, #Start, #End)
See a live demo on rextester
You can achieve this easily using Common Table expressions(CTE).
--Declaration of start date and end date
declare #StartDate datetime='2017-01-01', #endDate datetime='2017-12-01'
-- Expression
;WITH monthcte
AS (SELECT EOMONTH(#StartDate) AS dates
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(month, 1, dates) AS dates
FROM monthcte
WHERE dates <#endDate
)
-- Select query over expression
SELECT EOMONTH(dates) AS EndOfMonth
FROM monthcte
Order by EndOfMonth
If you are not able to use EOMonth you can generate like this below:
declare #d1 date = '1/1/2015'
declare #d2 date = '1/1/2017'
select top (datediff(MONTH,#d1,#d2)+1) Dates = DateAdd(day,-1, Dateadd(M,Row_number() over(order by (select null)), #d1)) from
master..spt_values n1, master..spt_values n2
If EoMonth is available in your SQL Server Version then you can try as below:
select top (datediff(MONTH,#d1,#d2)+1) Dates = EoMonth(Dateadd(M,Row_number() over(order by (select null))-1, #d1)) from
master..spt_values n1, master..spt_values n2
List of Month:
DECLARE #StartDate datetime
DECLARE #EndDate datetime
set #StartDate = '01/01/2015'
set #EndDate = '01/01/2017'
;WITH cte1 (S) AS (
SELECT 1 FROM (VALUES (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1), (1)) n (S)
),
cte2 (S) AS (SELECT 1 FROM cte1 AS cte1 CROSS JOIN cte1 AS cte2),
cte3 (S) AS (SELECT 1 FROM cte1 AS cte1 CROSS JOIN cte2 AS cte2)
select distinct cast(result as date) result from
(SELECT TOP (DATEDIFF(day, #StartDate, #EndDate) + 1)
result = DATEADD(day, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY S) - 1, #StartDate)
FROM cte3) as res
I'm tasked with the following:
Select a list of all customers who had their nth order during a certain date range (usually a specific month).
This list needs to contain: customer id, sum of first n orders
My tables are something like this:
[dbo.customers]: customerID
[dbo.orders]: orderID, customerID,
orderDate, orderTotal
Here is what I've tried so far:
-- Let's assume our threshold (n) is 10
-- Let's assume our date range is April 2013
-- Get customers that already had n orders before the beginning of the given date range.
DECLARE #tmpcustomers TABLE (tmpcustomerID varchar(8))
INSERT INTO
#tmpcustomers
SELECT
c.customerID
FROM
orders o
INNER JOIN customers c ON o.customerID = c.customerID
WHERE
o.orderDate < '2013-04-01'
GROUP BY c.customerID
HAVING (COUNT(o.orderID) >= 10)
-- Now get all customers that have n orders sometime within the given date range
-- but did not have n orders before the beginning of the given date range.
SELECT
a.customerID, SUM(orderTotal) AS firstTenOrderTotal
SELECT
o.customerID, o.orderID, o.orderTotal
FROM
orders o
INNER JOIN customers c ON c.customerID = o.customerID
WHERE
a.customerID NOT IN ( SELECT tmpcustomerID FROM #tmpcustomers )
AND
o.orderDate > '2013-04-01'
AND
o.orderDate < '2013-05-01'
GROUP BY c.customerID
HAVING COUNT(o.orderID) >= 10
This seems to work but it's clunky and slow. Another big problem is that the firstTenOrderTotal is actually the SUM of the total amount of orders by the end of the given date range and not necessarily the first 10.
Any suggestions for a better approach would be much appreciated.
In the insert to #tmpcustomers, why are you joining back to the customer table? The order table already has the customerID that you want. Also, why are you looking for orders where the order date is before your date range? Don't you just want customers with more than n orders between a date range? This will make the second query easier.
By only having the customers with n or more orders in the table variable #tmpcustomers, you should just be able to join it and the orders table in the second query to get the sum of all the orders for those customers where you would once again limit order table records to your date range (so you do not get orders outside of that range). This will remove the having statement and the join to the customers table in your final result query.
Give this a try. Depending on your order distribution it may perform better. In this query im assembling the list of orders in the range, and then looking back to count the number of prior orders (also grabbing the orderTotal).
note: I am assuming the orderID increments as orders are placed.
If this isnt the case just use a row_number over the date to project the sequence into the query.
declare #orders table (orderID int primary key identity(1,1), customerID int, orderDate datetime, orderTotal int)
insert into #orders (customerID, orderDate, orderTotal)
select 1, '2013-01-01', 1 union all
select 1, '2013-01-02', 2 union all
select 1, '2013-02-01', 3 union all
select 2, '2013-01-25', 5 union all
select 2, '2013-01-26', 5 union all
select 2, '2013-02-02', 10 union all
select 2, '2013-02-02', 10 union all
select 2, '2013-02-04', 20
declare #N int, #StartDate datetime, #EndDate datetime
select #N = 3,
#StartDate = '2013-02-01',
#EndDate = '2013-02-20'
select o.customerID,
[total] = o.orderTotal + p.total --the nth order + total prior
from #orders o
cross
apply ( select count(*)+1, sum(orderTotal)
from #orders
where customerId = o.customerID and
orderID < o.orderID and
orderDate <= o.orderDate
) p(n, total)
where orderDate between #StartDate and #EndDate and p.n = #N
Here is my suggestion:
Use Northwind
GO
select ords.OrderID , ords.OrderDate , '<-->' as Sep1 , derived1.* from
dbo.Orders ords
join
(
select CustomerID, OrderID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY CustomerID ORDER BY OrderId DESC) AS ThisCustomerCardinalOrderNumber from dbo.Orders
) as derived1
on ords.OrderID = derived1.OrderID
where
derived1.ThisCustomerCardinalOrderNumber = 3
and ords.OrderDate between '06/01/1997' and '07/01/1997'
EDIT:::::::::
I took my CTE example, and reworked it for multiple Customers (seen below).
Give it the college try.
Use Northwind
GO
declare #BeginDate datetime
declare #EndDate datetime
select #BeginDate = '01/01/1900'
select #EndDate = '12/31/2010'
;

My question is similar to this MySQL question, but intended for SQL Server:
Is there a function or a query that will return a list of days between two dates? For example, lets say there is a function called ExplodeDates:
SELECT ExplodeDates('2010-01-01', '2010-01-13');
This would return a single column table with the values:
2010-01-01
2010-01-02
2010-01-03
2010-01-04
2010-01-05
2010-01-06
2010-01-07
2010-01-08
2010-01-09
2010-01-10
2010-01-11
2010-01-12
2010-01-13
I'm thinking that a calendar/numbers table might be able to help me here.
Update
I decided to have a look at the three code answers provided, and the results of the execution - as a % of the total batch - are:
Rob Farley's answer : 18%
StingyJack's answer : 41%
KM's answer : 41%
Lower is better
I have accepted Rob Farley's answer, as it was the fastest, even though numbers table solutions (used by both KM and StingyJack in their answers) are something of a favourite of mine. Rob Farley's was two-thirds faster.
Update 2
Alivia's answer is much more succinct. I have changed the accepted answer.
this few lines are the simple answer for this question in sql server.
WITH mycte AS
(
SELECT CAST('2011-01-01' AS DATETIME) DateValue
UNION ALL
SELECT DateValue + 1
FROM mycte
WHERE DateValue + 1 < '2021-12-31'
)
SELECT DateValue
FROM mycte
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0)
Try something like this:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ExplodeDates(#startdate datetime, #enddate datetime)
returns table as
return (
with
N0 as (SELECT 1 as n UNION ALL SELECT 1)
,N1 as (SELECT 1 as n FROM N0 t1, N0 t2)
,N2 as (SELECT 1 as n FROM N1 t1, N1 t2)
,N3 as (SELECT 1 as n FROM N2 t1, N2 t2)
,N4 as (SELECT 1 as n FROM N3 t1, N3 t2)
,N5 as (SELECT 1 as n FROM N4 t1, N4 t2)
,N6 as (SELECT 1 as n FROM N5 t1, N5 t2)
,nums as (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) as num FROM N6)
SELECT DATEADD(day,num-1,#startdate) as thedate
FROM nums
WHERE num <= DATEDIFF(day,#startdate,#enddate) + 1
);
You then use:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.ExplodeDates('20090401','20090531') as d;
Edited (after the acceptance):
Please note... if you already have a sufficiently large nums table then you should use:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ExplodeDates(#startdate datetime, #enddate datetime)
returns table as
return (
SELECT DATEADD(day,num-1,#startdate) as thedate
FROM nums
WHERE num <= DATEDIFF(day,#startdate,#enddate) + 1
);
And you can create such a table using:
CREATE TABLE dbo.nums (num int PRIMARY KEY);
INSERT dbo.nums values (1);
GO
INSERT dbo.nums SELECT num + (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM nums) FROM nums
GO 20
These lines will create a table of numbers containing 1M rows... and far quicker than inserting them one by one.
You should NOT create your ExplodeDates function using a function that involves BEGIN and END, as the Query Optimizer becomes unable to simplify the query at all.
This does exactly what you want, modified from Will's earlier post. No need for helper tables or loops.
WITH date_range (calc_date) AS (
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, '2010-01-13') - DATEDIFF(DAY, '2010-01-01', '2010-01-13'), 0)
UNION ALL SELECT DATEADD(DAY, 1, calc_date)

FROM sys.all_objects a CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects b;
I'm an oracle guy, but I believe MS SQL Server has support for the connect by clause:
select sysdate + level
from dual
connect by level <= 10 ;
The output is:
SYSDATE+LEVEL
05-SEP-09
06-SEP-09
07-SEP-09
08-SEP-09
09-SEP-09
10-SEP-09
11-SEP-09
12-SEP-09
13-SEP-09
14-SEP-09
Dual is just a 'dummy' table that comes with oracle (it contains 1 row and the word 'dummy' as the value of the single column).
A few ideas:
If you need the list dates in order to loop through them, you could have a Start Date and Day Count parameters and do a while loop whilst creating the date and using it?
Use C# CLR Stored Procedures and write the code in C#
Do this outside the database in code
Would all these dates be in the database already or do you just want to know the days between the two dates? If it's the first you could use the BETWEEN or <= >= to find the dates between
EXAMPLE:
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name
BETWEEN value1 AND value2
OR
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name
value1 >= column_name
AND column_name =< value2
All you have to do is just change the hard coded value in the code provided below
DECLARE #firstDate datetime
DECLARE #secondDate datetime
DECLARE #totalDays INT
SELECT #firstDate = getDate() - 30
SELECT #secondDate = getDate()
DECLARE #index INT
SELECT #index = 0
SELECT #totalDays = datediff(day, #firstDate, #secondDate)
CREATE TABLE #temp
(
ID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1)
,CommonDate DATETIME NULL
)
WHILE #index < #totalDays
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #temp (CommonDate) VALUES (DATEADD(Day, #index, #firstDate))
SELECT #index = #index + 1
END
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CommonDate, 102) as [Date Between] FROM #temp
DROP TABLE #temp
A Bit late to the party, but I like this solution quite a bit.
CREATE FUNCTION ExplodeDates(#startDate DateTime, #endDate DateTime)
RETURNS table as
return (
SELECT TOP (DATEDIFF(DAY, #startDate, #endDate) + 1)
DATEADD(DAY, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY a.object_id) - 1, #startDate) AS DATE
FROM sys.all_objects a
CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects b
)
Before you use my function, you need to set up a "helper" table, you only need to do this one time per database:
CREATE TABLE Numbers
(Number int NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_Numbers PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (Number ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
DECLARE #x int
SET #x=0
WHILE #x<8000
BEGIN
SET #x=#x+1
INSERT INTO Numbers VALUES (#x)
END
here is the function:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ListDates
(
#StartDate char(10)
,#EndDate char(10)
)
RETURNS
#DateList table
(
Date datetime
)
AS
BEGIN
IF ISDATE(#StartDate)!=1 OR ISDATE(#EndDate)!=1
BEGIN
RETURN
END
INSERT INTO #DateList
(Date)
SELECT
CONVERT(datetime,#StartDate)+n.Number-1
FROM Numbers n
WHERE Number<=DATEDIFF(day,#StartDate,CONVERT(datetime,#EndDate)+1)
RETURN
END --Function
use this:
select * from dbo.ListDates('2010-01-01', '2010-01-13')
output:
Date

Perhaps if you wish to go an easier way, this should do it.
WITH date_range (calc_date) AS (
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) - 6, 0)
UNION ALL SELECT DATEADD(DAY, 1, calc_date)
FROM date_range
WHERE DATEADD(DAY, 1, calc_date) < CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
SELECT calc_date
FROM date_range;
But the temporary table is a very good approach also. Perhaps shall you also consider a populated calendar table.
Definately a numbers table, though tyou may want to use Mark Redman's idea of a CLR proc/assembly if you really need the performance.

Now that you have a table of dates, you can use a function (NOT A PROC) like KM's to get the table of them.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ListDates

#StartDate DATETIME
,#EndDate DATETIME
)
RETURNS
#DateList table
(
Date datetime
)
AS
BEGIN
/*add some validation logic of your own to make sure that the inputs are sound.Adjust the rest as needed*/
INSERT INTO
#DateList
SELECT FLD_Date FROM TableOfDates (NOLOCK) WHERE FLD_Date >= #StartDate AND FLD_Date <= #EndDate
RETURN
END

This query works on Microsoft SQL Server.
select distinct format( cast('2010-01-01' as datetime) + ( a.v / 10 ), 'yyyy-MM-dd' ) as aDate
from (
SELECT ones.n + 10 * tens.n + 100 * hundreds.n + 1000 * thousands.n as v
FROM (VALUES(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) ones(n),
(VALUES(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) tens(n),
(VALUES(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) hundreds(n),
(VALUES(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) thousands(n)
) a
where format( cast('2010-01-01' as datetime) + ( a.v / 10 ), 'yyyy-MM-dd' ) < cast('2010-01-13' as datetime)
order by aDate asc;
Now let's look at how it works.
The inner query merely returns a list of integers from 0 to 9999. It will give us a range of 10,000 values for calculating dates. You can get more dates by adding rows for ten_thousands and hundred_thousands and so forth.
SELECT ones.n + 10 * tens.n + 100 * hundreds.n + 1000 * thousands.n as v
FROM (VALUES(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) ones(n),
(VALUES(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) tens(n),
(VALUES(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) hundreds(n),
(VALUES(0),(1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9)) thousands(n)
) a;
This part converts the string to a date and adds a number to it from the inner query.
cast('2010-01-01' as datetime) + ( a.v / 10 )
Then we convert the result into the format you want. This is also the column name!
format( cast('2010-01-01' as datetime) + ( a.v / 10 ), 'yyyy-MM-dd' )
Next we extract only the distinct values and give the column name an alias of aDate.
distinct format( cast('2010-01-01' as datetime) + ( a.v / 10 ), 'yyyy-MM-dd' ) as aDate
We use the where clause to filter in only dates within the range you want. Notice that we use the column name here since SQL Server does not accept the column alias, aDate, within the where clause.
where format( cast('2010-01-01' as datetime) + ( a.v / 10 ), 'yyyy-MM-dd' ) < cast('2010-01-13' as datetime)
Lastly, we sort the results.
order by aDate asc;
if you're in a situation like me where procedures and functions are prohibited, and your sql user does not have permissions for insert, therefore insert not allowed, also "set/declare temporary variables like #c is not allowed", but you want to generate a list of dates in a specific period, say current year to do some aggregation, use this
select * from

The detail is on the table DUAL but if your exchange this table for a dummy table this works.

How to list all dates between two dates
Create Procedure SelectDates(#fromDate Date, #toDate Date)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT DATEADD(DAY,number,#fromDate) [Date]
FROM master..spt_values
WHERE type = 'P'
AND DATEADD(DAY,number,#fromDate) < #toDate
END
DECLARE #StartDate DATE = '2017-09-13', #EndDate DATE = '2017-09-16'
SELECT date FROM ( SELECT DATE = DATEADD(DAY, rn - 1, #StartDate) FROM (
SELECT TOP (DATEDIFF(DAY, #StartDate, DATEADD(DAY,1,#EndDate)))
rn = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY s1.[object_id])
FROM sys.all_objects AS s1
CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects AS s2
ORDER BY s1.[object_id] ) AS x ) AS y
Result:
2017-09-13
2017-09-14
2017-09-15
2017-09-16
