Microsoft SQL Server Generating a range of dates Generating Date Range With Recursive CTE
Example
Using a Recursive CTE, you can generate an inclusive range of dates:
Declare @FromDate Date = '2014-04-21',
@ToDate Date = '2014-05-02'
;With DateCte (Date) As
(
Select @FromDate Union All
Select DateAdd(Day, 1, Date)
From DateCte
Where Date < @ToDate
)
Select Date
From DateCte
Option (MaxRecursion 0)
The default MaxRecursion setting is 100. Generating more than 100 dates using this method will require the Option (MaxRecursion N) segment of the query, where N is the desired MaxRecursion setting. Setting this to 0 will remove the MaxRecursion limitation altogether.
